Are you a young person passionate about a cause? Want to create change in your local or global community?
Set up a Take Action Group!
Take Action groups support children, youth and schools to get involved in creating change in their local or global community. Take Action groups empower and support children and young people to identify an issue and take action for positive change.
How it Works
Step 1: Register your group.
Step 2: Receive your “Take Action” starter pack full of ideas and inspiration.
Step 3: Make a plan for action! This could include fundraising for a cause you care about, writing a letter to an MP, or holding an event such as a webinar or a panel.
Step 4: Stay connected. Through our emails we will share opportunities, connect you with other groups across Aotearoa and join our quarterly workshops to grow your Take Action skills.
Take Action groups are supported by Save the Children NZ and Generation Hope, which sit within the advocacy, youth and schools branch of our organisation. We are a team of teachers, youth development workers and advocacy experts who are passionate about amplifying the voices of children and young people.
An essential part of inquiry-based learning is to “Take Action”. Setting up and participating in a Take Action group connects to numerous strands of the New Zealand curriculum and the International Baccalaureate programme.
What do Take Action Groups Receive?
- Take Action group members receive invites to events, campaign opportunities and workshops on advocacy, communications, mobilisation and children’s rights.
- Opportunities to contribute to Save the Children New Zealand’s advocacy work and our Generation Hope youth programme.
- Connections to other Take Action groups across the country to create a network of passionate rangatahi motivated to create change.
- Support from Save the Children New Zealand to amplify your voice.
