Published: 17/4/2025 11:45 a.m.
What does it mean for young people to have a say in where funding goes? In this episode, we dive into the world of youth in philanthropy — what it is, why it matters, and how rangatahi are helping shape a more inclusive and equitable future for funding. You'll hear personal reflections and stories from members of the rōpū about what it’s really like to be a young person in this space — the highs, the challenges, and the moments that shifted their thinking. We’ll also explore the barriers that can make it hard for young people to step into these roles, and how we can work together to change that — creating a space where rangatahi voices aren’t just included, but truly valued.
