GUIDELINES FOR THE CLUTHA
DISTRICT YOUTH COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT FUND
The aim...
is to provide the young people of the Clutha District with access to a personal
development fund which has been established to assist young people in reaching
their goals.
The purpose...
of this fund is to ensure that young people can make the most of every
opportunity available to them, by helping to remove the barrier of financial
limitations.
The funding...
will be an amount of up to $2,000.00. The number of recipients and amount
awarded to each individual will be flexible, depending upon applications
received during each annual funding round.
The process...
will involve young people in the community submitting a letter or story (in
writing or video) about why they require the funding. The Clutha District Youth
Council will decide on a shortlist of applicants who will then be interviewed
by an interview panel consisting of nominated youth councillors, a councillor
and a staff member.
The criteria...

the ages of 12 and 24

-
Applications must include the
day-time contact details of a reference person who can verify the information
included in the application. e.g. a coach, teacher, team leader

to have their photos used for promotional material if selected
-
Successful applicants may not

considered.
The intended
outcome... is
that there will be more young people in the Clutha District reaching their full
potential as members of the community through the help of the Youth Development
Fund.
It is hoped that the allocation
of this resource will ensure that young people are able to access opportunities
which will enhance their personal development and growth, by providing financial
support for them to achieve their goals and aspirations.
