Vic Park Young Leaders

Is this right for you?

We’re looking for people who are passionate about youth advocacy, events and making a difference in the community.

As a Young Leader, you’ll work closely with the Youth Programs Officer to share ideas, give feedback on strategies and policies, and speak up for young people in the Town. You’ll also connect with other young people aged 12-25, hear what matters to them, and bring their voices to the Town’s decision-makers.

You’ll get to help plan youth events and initiatives, and even collaborate with the Town’s Communications team to make sure youth perspectives are heard. Plus, you’ll have the chance to be part of an annual roundtable with the Town Council and contribute to exciting youth-focused projects across different areas.

The best news? You don't even need to have done this before — everyone is welcome!

Requirements:

• Able to contribute 8-10 volunteer hours per month (including meetings)
• Able to attend up to 15 regular meetings (every third Wednesday from 6pm-8pm, excluding certain holiday breaks) and meet with Town staff outside of meetings to work on specific projects
• Either live, study, work or volunteer in the Town (suburbs include Victoria Park, East Victoria Park, Lathlain, Carlisle and Burswood, as well as sections of suburbs including Welshpool, Bentley and St James) 
• Able to commit to regular participation in the team
• Able to obtain a Police Clearance check (paid for by Town)
