The Youth Leaders Program is a volunteer platform for young people aged 14–24 to become involved with us. The program allows young people from across our Region to learn about their local communities groups, events, activities and youth services.
As part of their role, the Youth Leaders provide a voice for other young people, identify community issues and share information on ways for young people to connect to services, programs and events. The Youth Leaders also get the opportunity to develop grassroots projects to create positive change – not only for our Region's young people but the wider community.
