Throughout the western world our youth are struggling to find their place in society. They are facing many more pressures than any previous generation, and there is little in the way of support systems to help them.

School was the institution that provided this for our parents and their parents before them, but is it enough for future generations? What can be done? Where can we look for solutions?

Lehi looks at some of the issues and solutions around this.

 -Lehi suffered a traumatic brain injury in a skateboarding accident as a teenager, this has a long term impact on his recall. As a result Lehi had notes for this talk, to keep him on track.

 Lehi Duncan is the Manager at Zeal Hamilton, a youth development facility (or youth centre) in the Hamilton CBD and has spent his 20s helping the lives of youth flourish in New Zealand. The not-for-profit organisation has a dedication to help young Kiwis. He is also representing Zeal on the Tomorrow’s Schools Cross Sector Advisory Panel.

Zeal Hamilton focuses on creating communities of belonging and identity and believing in young people until they believe in themselves. Zeal Hamilton helps young people feel as though they are active agents in their own journey and a part of something larger than themselves. They want and need something that takes them as they are and gives them a place of belonging.
