Are you between 16 and 25 and interested in helping us establish a local Rural Youth Network?
In partnership with YouThrive's Rural Youth Network (RYN), Northern District Community Health and YACVic's Umbrella Funding, we are co-designing a chapter of the RYN for the shires of Buloke, Loddon, Gannawarra and the town of St Arnaud.
The Network will build on the achievements of the YES Group (North Central Youth Advisory Council), and will provide opportunities for young people who work, study, play, and stay in BLGs to thrive in education, work, and life by: • Providing access to shared networks with opportunities and resources
Establish shared interest groups, events and other opportunities for connection
Provide social opportunities for young people to develop connections across BLGs and beyond
Be a representative voice of young people across BLGs and provide opportunities for young people to respond to local/state/federal policies that impact them
Facilitate discussions about issues impacting young people and advocate for change
Develop and expand leadership skills
We need a Committee of Young People to help us take the first steps…
Who we want:
People aged 16-25 from a broad range of backgrounds. We are inclusive of all people and
celebrate diversity!
A committed, optimistic attitude, and willingness to “have a go”
A readiness to share your ideas in a supportive environment
Contribution to the conversation about how to make BLGs better for young people
An ability to work collaboratively and effectively in a team
Demonstration of values of the RYN and the North Central LLEN
What we need from you:
Completion of an online survey by 24 September 2023
1:1 meeting with the Project Coordinator (in person or online)
Attendance at 2x online meetings with the Project team on:
Monday 16 October (6:30pm - 8:30pm) & Monday 30 October (6:30pm – 8:30pm)
In return we will provide you with $50 voucher and the potential for a paid ongoing role as a member of the Project Advisory Committee
