IYM 2021 - more exciting than ever!

IYM 2021 —

Like everyone in New Zealand and around the world, IYM is aware that the pandemic means circumstances can change quickly. But that just means we also have to be adaptable and innovative. This year, we switched from a residential programme to an online programme - and surprised ourselves with how successful it was! We have learnt a lot and can see the potential for the two different types of programmes.

So, with that in mind, in 2021, IYM will deliver an online programme for students from all over New Zealand and a residential programme for students from the Wellington region.

IYM Online will run in the first week of the April school holidays over five half-day sessions. Places will be limited to 100 and the cost to take part is $30.00.

IYM Residential is for students from throughout New Zealand. This will be based at Silverstream Retreat in Lower Hutt and will run in the first week of the July school holidays. Places will be limited to 40 and the cost to students to attend is $170.

By keeping the residential programme local, we are able to adjust quickly and cost-effectively should Covid levels change.

Young women from the Greater Wellington Region are eligible to apply for either IYM Online 2021 or IYM Residential 2021, depending on their preference.

Applications for both programmes open on 1 November 2020. Students can apply online at www.iym.org.nz 

Sponsorship is available through the Greymouth Rotary Club, see Mrs Newberry for more information.
