He aha te Inspiring the Future?
At an Inspiring the Future event, young people hear from volunteer role models in their communities, learn about different jobs and why people love doing them, as well as their pathway and challenges they faced along the way.
The benefits
Ngā hua
For role models who volunteer to take part, Inspiring the Future is a great way to give back to their community and be seen as a positive role model for our young people.
For schools and other organisations that support young people and host events, Inspiring the Future can broaden young people’s sense of what’s possible and, for schools, support delivery of the curriculum.
