Current Initiatives

The Nomads charity for 2010-11 is the Foundation for Youth Development.
Origins
The foundation for Youth Development was established in 1995 by Graham Dingle and Jo-Anne Wilkinson to address high levels of negative youth statistics in New Zealand.

About the Foundation
We aim to inspire all school age New Zealand children to reach their full potential through programmes that help build self-esteem, promote good values and which teach valuable life, education and health skills. Current programmes include Kiwi Can, Project K and Stars.

Our programmes have the potential to significantly benefit New Zealand through a youth population who are better educated, have enhanced employment prospects, greater self-esteem and are healthy and motivated.

Donation
Nomads has donated $12,000 to provide a car for the Upper North Island Regional Co-Ordinator, to allow this person to travel around the upper north Island.
