I was one of the Founding Members of The Hive, which is a youth-led policy agency that was supported by the Ministry of Youth Development and the design agency Curative which facilitated our work and our foundation.

We helped young kiwis all over the country be able to make it easier to make submissions to government policy over a range of governmental departments!

Some of our work included gathering youth submissions on these policies:

Biodiversity Policy- Department of Conservation (Pilot)
We Achieved:
-280+ Youth Submissions on the policy
-This was 84% of young peoples first submission
-Managed to gather a wide range of voice from under 12s all the way 21+!

Climate Change Commission Report:- Climate Change Commission (CCC)
Results:
-Reached over 190,000+ Young People with impressions on over 230,000+ Young People in NZ with a CPA of $0.22
- Almost half of our respondents didn't know the CCC report existed and didn't know what it covered before our engagement campaign
-Facilitated the discussion of new suggestions from young people to the "wicked problems" climate change offers such as regenerative farming and the reduction of fast fashion as well as improvements needed in our infrastructure in order to boost confidence in cycling to reduce carbon emissions.

Our Cogo Evaluation report stated the following:

"The Hive pilot tested and proved the success of a highly innovative way to actively engage young people in a meaningful participation in the policy development process... The Hive shows huge promise as a way to engage with hard-to-reach populations and encourage better demographic representation in our policy development processes"


Our vision we set and founded was the idea of enabling TWO WAY AUTHENTIC [relationship between young people and policy makers] where young people around NZ have their voices heard!

I worked specifically in the brand team and helped with the foundations of what The Hive meant to young people!

I represented the Youth of Northland at Youth Parliament. I was Matt Kings Youth MP and I helped represent and push the ideas of young people to the government and let the decision-makers of today know what is required of them. I worked closely with Matt and went to a number of his events and learned a lot about what it is to become a politician and a electorate MP.
