Last week it was announced that Community Max has been expanded in four target areas, Northland, Bay of Plenty, Waikato and East Coast, to make an extra 1500 places available. This is great news for organisations who have used Community Max to help with new developments and innovations including their OSCAR programmes.
Community Max provides a six-month placement for 16 to 24 year olds to work on community or environmental projects, where participants are paid at least the minimum wage and are eligible for training related to their project. It has enabled young people to gain experience, training, work and life skills.
Some young people have found that a taste of working with children at OSCAR and being engaged in their communities has set them on a new career path, launching them into training, education and an exciting future.
