We are providing opportunities for young people in the Tasman community to develop their leadership skills with help from a Youth Leadership Grant.
Every year we provide scholarships of up to $500 per person to take part in youth leadership opportunities. Last year, Freya Ibbotson went to Vanuatu for the Future Leaders Academy Pacific Student Leaders Course with aid from a grant.
She says she can’t even begin to convey how life-changing this experience was, not only for her leadership skills but also for her personal growth and plans for future endeavours.
“The week was truly one of the most exciting and fulfilling weeks of my life, and stemmed so many interpersonal and international bonds, knowledge of the world and deep connections with other students on the course.”
Freya says the skills she gained in leading a team, communicating with those around her in a leadership context, and solving obstacles while leading, will come in incredibly helpful.
“Thank you to the Tasman District Council Youth Leadership Grant again for your support in my attendance of this course, and I strongly recommend the Future Leaders Academy Pacific Student Leaders Course to any aspiring leader who has a passion, want for change, and determination in leadership.”
