Youth Tool Kete

The Youth Tool Kete website gives rangatahi in Aotearoa easy access to trusted info on their rights and life’s ‘firsts’. We know that navigating the challenges of this stage of life can be less heavy through being equipped with the information you need. The new website for young people contains information about many of the key issues for youth embarking on those ‘firsts’ in adult life - starting tertiary study, getting a job, going flatting, buying a car, getting ID and more. The site is for helping young people know their rights and responsibilities, and for linking them to the CAB service when they need help from a real person. This is an awesome go-to online information resource for young people when you have a question or need help with something, but don’t know where to start. Check it out and share it with others!
