A message from the 2024 Co-Chairs:
Hey Future Delegates!
We are super excited to welcome you as you begin the journey to the NZCA Youth Leadership Camp 2024! We're thrilled to accompany you on this adventure, regardless of the motivation that led you to join YLC 2024.
Some of you might be eager to meet new friends from around country; others could be seeking personal growth and a deeper connection to your cultural roots. Perhaps, a few are reading this because your parents insist. Regardless of the reason, we're here to make this an unforgettable experience!
YLC promises a jam-packed week filled with cultural exploration, inspiring stories from speakers who share similar backgrounds to you, and the opportunity to build long lasting connections with other young Chinese New Zealanders.
As we celebrate the 11th anniversary and the 7th year of YLC, we're enthusiastic about guiding the 2024 cohort through their experience. Feedback from previous delegates has only been positive - no matter how reluctant they may have been initially.
For many in the past, the camp has shown how supportive and tight-knit the Chinese New Zealander community is. We have always strived to uplift and nurture the future leader's that have, and will come through the camp. The quality of applications we receive every year showcases the remarkable talent within our community.
Nevertheless, consider this a great opportunity for self-development, identity and cultural exploration, and the chance to meet like-minded people from every corner of the country.
We can't wait to see you there!
Jasmine and Jacob
YLC 2024 Co-chairs
