8 Connecting Kaipatiki A recent initiative of the Kaipatiki Local Board is the signposting of Walkways and Paths that connect the streets and reserves within Kaipatiki. This is so that residents can more easily see how they can move around the area on foot utilizing these connections, and not have to jump into their car for small, local trips to the shops for instance. John Gillon, Chairman Kaipatiki Local Board.

14 Kaipatiki Restoration Network Another way to get healthy exercise and support the environment is volunteering in a bush reserve. Throughout the Kaipatiki region, there have been dedicated “Bush Groups” set up for individual reserves and bush areas. Members of these groups are usually locals whose properties border the area, and they coordinate to look after that particular piece of bush. Here in Kaipatiki we have the Kaipatiki Restoration Network, and it is through this network of keen volunteers that you can find the support and guidance you may need in either setting up your own neighbourhood “Kaipatiki Bush Group”, or to join an existing one. Contact them on: enquiries@pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz. Support your local groups Feel free to get in touch with your local reserve group from the list below. Fortunately new groups are forming all of the time so check out the updated list on the Pest Free Kaipatiki website pestfreekaipatiki.org.nz/getinvolved. There are more than 28 active volunteer groups in Kaipatiki.

16 Kaipatiki Youth Navigator The KCFT employs a Youth Navigator to act as a mentor for our youth, and as an intermediary between local and central government agencies for those young people. Initiatives undertaken by the Youth Navigator include: Kaipatiki Local Youth Board Provides opportunities for young people in Kaipatiki to get involved in the community, and have the voice of youth in local decision making processes. It also means being part of the local consultation process with the Kaipatiki Local Board and other local and central government agencies. Most importantly, the Kaipatiki Local Youth Board allows our youth to engage with others their same age at a decision-making level, and to engage with elected officials and politicians to provide events, or projects for youth lead by youth. Children’s and Student Panels These panels, started five years ago, have provided an opportunity for young people to have a voice in specific areas each school term throughout the year, working collaboratively with agencies and/ or our Local Board. Schools involved include Birkenhead, Glenfield and Northcote High Schools, Birkdale, Glenfield and Northcote Intermediate Schools and identified local primary schools. A snapshot of the issues covered include: Pest Free Kaipatiki, Youth Health, Transport, Safety in the Community, Watersafe, Library Hours, Connected Kaipatiki.
17 Kaipatiki Youth Development Trust The KYDT is as a community-based social service provider working alongside ‘at-risk’ young people and their whanau. The purpose of KYDT programmes is to decrease youth related offending within our communities, and to increase positive youth involvement in community based activities and events. To continue to be a recognised provider of programmes and training catered towards “at risk” youth and their whanau. To strengthen and establish partnerships with key community and statutory stakeholders by working collaboratively together and developing Intervention strategies that work for whanau and communities. The KYDT staff are committed to offering a culturally competent practice and culturally safe interventions for young people. The success of KYDT is achieved through the provision of our core services: • Kanohi ki te Kanohi: individualized activity based mentoring and social support work • Early Intervention Programmes (EIP) in local Primary, Intermediate and Secondary Schools • After school activity based programmes • Collaboration and networking • Counselling services The organisation originally worked in the Birkdale and Beach Haven communities, but has extended their operations to include Glenfield and other suburbs covered by the Kaipatiki Local Board area of Auckland (namely Birkenhead, Northcote & Glenfield). KYDT Mission KYDT believes that all young people are to be nurtured in a safe and healthy environment, and that they are valued and empowered to achieve their full potential in education and employment, and to be citizens fully participating in their communities, making their communities safer. If we are to achieve the desired goal of success for all children and young people then we must hold high expectations for all, especially for those most vulnerable in our communities. We must view these young people as having strengths and not “deficits,” and adopt programs and practices that help all young people to achieve their true potential. All children and young people are special and significant.
