While we don’t have a Youth Action Team anymore, we do still run a number of activities for the rangatahi of South Invercargill including youth gaming events with YourCorps, school holiday events, and 3 x 3 basketball competitions. We now have a dedicated Rangatahi Lead too, and you can check out more about Stacey’s role, and how you can get involved on our Rangatahi Projects page here.
