Overview

A new generation of young leaders are being called to join Council’s freshly relaunched Youth Action Group (YAG).

The group was first developed in 2017, following the endorsement of the Campaspe Youth Charter, allowing young people to share their voice with Council and impact decision making at a local level.

YAG members will provide a youth perspective on Council's key plans and strategies, direct youth funding towards desired programs, activities and events and brief community groups, businesses and Council on issues that significantly impact young people in Campaspe.

They will receive leadership training, mentoring and skills development along with many other opportunities. 

Meetings are typically held on the first Wednesday of the month at different locations throughout the shire.
