Hazel Evaroa South Auckland to the World Istanbul, Türkiye

I have been selected by the International Foundation “Youth Break The Boundaries” as one of 6 Lead Ambassadors to head to Istanbul, TURKEY in Feb 2025 for the 8th World Youth Summit to represent the views and challenges our young people face in my community, South Auckland & NZ. I'm excited to have this opportunity and to be able to network with incredible young leaders who are also critical thinkers and solution finders from all over the world in the hope of finding collaborative solutions together.

As part of this tour I will be working alongside other young leaders in a group from around the world, looking at some of our most pressing issues we face in our community with a focus on one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to develop a social project that aims to solve some of these issues. Our social project outcomes will then be presented at the summit in Istanbul, TURKEY.

I would love your support and if you are able to help me take on this opportunity it will give me the chance to hopefully come back with my peers and do some transformative good for our hood and to be able to further grow my leadership skills in this area.
