Questions and answers

Does it cost anything to join?
No. Membership is free, and Young Wool NZ is not-for-profit.
Do I need to work in the wool industry?
No. Most members work with wool, but anyone who is curious about the industry is welcome, including students and people thinking about a career in wool.
Where does the community meet?
[Forum, WhatsApp community, Discord or regular meet-ups: add once decided.] Upcoming events are listed on the About page.
What does ShearOps have to do with it?
Young Wool NZ was started by Anton, who also founded ShearOps, and ShearOps supports it. The two are separate: you don’t need to use ShearOps to take part, and the community is not a place to advertise products.
Can my business get involved?
Yes. See Partner with us for the ways organisations can help.
What happens to my details when I sign up?
