OUR STRUCTURE // 


CYC Executive Committee:
The Executive Committee acts as our governance board for the organsation. This is a group of young people who have the ultimate responsibility for the finances, sustainability, our employee and the mahi we do. We can have up to 16 executive committee members and each is required to do a minimum of 10 hours per month and attend fortnightly meetings. 
​
We recruit our executive committee members from our general membership pool on an annual orå6 monthly basis (depending on numbers) and executive committee members have a year term

​
General Members:
General Members dedicate three hours or more a month towards the organisation. General membership is a broader for those who are starting out in the youth council and that want to develop further,  for those who have a specific interest in something CYC does (but not keen on everything), or is juggling a lot of other stuff. 

We do strive for an organsition that doesn't feel hierarchal, we offer the same opportunities to our general members, and really value everyones perspectives and ideas!
