Message to Students / how you can help us

Youth WorX administers Shore Youth Bank which provides grants of up to $2000 dollars to youth with projects for youth. Youth Bank is run by a board of young people and needs assistance promoting its funding service. Youth WorX is seeking to produce several communications projects to build a strong sense of community and involvement amongst NOrth SHore youth and the Youth Sector.

An upcoming project is a North Shore wide free youth mag. We could use help with the design and production of this magazine. The mag is intended to help youth become more aware of what services are available to them as well as expressing youth views on all issues. Youth WorX needs to promote itself to youth as a source of assistance for projects and a first contact point for probelms or issues faced by North Shore youth.
