Kia ora! Are you ready to apply for a 2024 Youth Grant?
Hastings Youth Council is excited to be supporting rangatahi across our district. Funding is available to individuals, groups or Young Enterprise Scheme business groups – we’re backing YOUth.
Before you dive into your application, here’s a couple of details to get you started:
• You can apply for a youth grant in one of three categories; individual, group/organization and Youth Enterprise Scheme.
