18 ways Zeal is celebrating Youth Week 2018

Every May, young people’s creativity and passion is celebrated worldwide through Youth Week. Originally kicking off in 1995 all the way in Canada, organizations all around Aotearoa spend 9 days putting together events that value what our rangatahi give to the world.
Here at Zeal, every week is youth week – and we’ve put together a bunch of epic events all across the North Island. We’d love for you to join us!

Hawke’s Bay

 

Hawke’s Bay Career Expo

An interactive expo where young people can explore options for their future. Come and find us to have a yarn and find out about our upcoming Programmes / internships!
YouthX – Motivational Youth Speakers

Last year we surveyed 500 young people, and a large number asked to learn skills such as CV writing, buying their first home, budgeting and interviewing. So this year, we’ve decided to run YouthX – a “TED Talk” inspired, motivational event at the Careers Expo.
