Vic Park Young Leaders
Become a Vic Park Young Leader
Want to make a real impact in your community? We’re looking for passionate young people aged 16 to 25 to join our Young Leaders program! This is your chance to step up, gain leadership experience and help shape youth events and initiatives in the Town.
As a Young Leader, you’ll have a say in decisions that affect young people, have the opportunity to get involved in a range of events, and work with the Town on youth-related projects. Plus, it’s a great way to build your skills and meet like-minded people.
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!
