Dreams helped with Youth Council grants

Australasia’s fastest sprinter (under 18 years, over 100m) used a Hastings Youth Council Grant to help her get to the competition at which she scored the win.

Georgia Hulls was one of 18 who received a grant of between $250 and $1000 last year. The fund is administered by Hastings Youth Council. Nominations have been called for again this year, with a closing date of November 4.

Giving their peers a helping hand to achieve their goals is one of the parts of being on the Youth Council that the members enjoy most, says Hastings District Council youth co-ordinator Paddy Steffert.

Last year 18 teens received between $250 and $1000 to help them reach their dreams. The funds went toward a wide range of activities, from canoe polo and softball, to music and athletics.

Hulls was one of those to reach real heights with the help of a grant, achieving national headlines for her win at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships. See http://tinyurl.com/z6qutwe

The number and size of grants is based on the funds available. To apply for one of this year’s grants, ranging from $150 to $500, head to www.hastingsdc.govt.nz/youth and download an application form. Please be aware that successful grant recipients will be required to fill out an accountability form. Applicants need to be aged between 13 and 19 and live in the Hastings District.
