I am here to work with community members, groups, and organizations,
and to help them in any way I can:
- to
work with individuals/groups/organizations to help them identify
their needs, gain access to resources, and meet their needs
- to
link community groups so they can share resources and help each
other
- to
be an advocate for the community
- to
plan community activities, such as Families in Parks events,
Preschool Mornings, Kid's Fishing Day, Summer Athletics, etc
- to
facilitate the Devonport Youth Forum and support ongoing youth
initiatives such as Small Day Out and Devonstock.
Families
in Parks Events (all free)

This is a fun time for pre-schoolers to play with lots of toys
(which we supply) and for parents to meet each other. Bring
a cup of coffee and enjoy our park by the sea. Upcoming dates:

Windsor Reserve at 9:30-11:00am (cancelled if raining)

4-10 year olds have fun with athletic challenges such as high
jumps, long jumps, sprint races, and novelty races. There will
be competitive events and certificates on the final night. Food
and drinks for sale. Next session: February 2010.

Concerts
Join us for a series of concerts given by local youth bands

Youth Forum
Any High School student is welcome at these monthly meetings.
They are a place where young people can share views and ideas.
We often meet at the Depot Artspace on Clarence Street. We serve
pizza and sort drinks. Members of the Youth Forum have initiated
some of our community events, such as Small Day Out and Devonstock.
The
Devonport Community Board has recently voted that a representative
from this Youth Forum can attend one meeting a month. The Youth
will have speaking rights, but not voting rights and will report
back to the Youth Forum, Takapuna Grammar and the Shore Youth
Forum. If you are interested in coming, please email me or call
445 9533.
Community
Network Meetings
Our quarterly Community Network Meetings are a great opportunity
for representatives from community groups, schools, preschools,
businesses, sport clubs, etc. to get together and share information
with each other. Meetings are held at the Devonport library.
