YCON Members

Napier City Council wants to make sure that young people have a chance to participate in their community. The Youth Council of Napier (YCON) has been established so that young people have the opportunity to get involved and have their say.

I was asked if I wanted to come along. I thought it would be great to get involved in the community a bit, especially in a Youth Council. It's a great way to get information out to teenagers. Great opportunities, Dane Rumble concert, sausage sizzles, safe parties!

We get to organise events like dance parties and concerts for the Napier Youth. Last year we had Goodnight Nurse come and play and we get to have our own input in things going on in the community. I like being on the youth council because I get to make Napier a better place for young people and we get really nice food!

I'm on the youth council of Napier to make a special bond between Taradale High and Napier Youth Council that will blossom into a beautiful little flower. Also to meet new people and get involved in events around Napier. And considering this is my first day, the foods a pretty good reason too!
