Newcastle Youth Council (NYC) is an advisory Committee of Council that provides an opportunity for young people to participate in local decision making and provide a forum for young people to discuss and provide input.
The Youth Council
aims to:
- Reflect
the interests of young people
- Raise
awareness on issues affecting young people
- Organise
activities in which young people can participate
- Provide
an advisory group for organisations wishing to develop programs and
activities for young people
- Allow
for interaction between people with diverse interests and backgrounds.
The Youth
Council provides an opportunity for young people to develop leadership
skills through planning youth initiatives and staging events during Youth Week
each year.
NYC
membership is currently full, however we are always happy for new Facebook
friends, so we can discuss youth issues and share the many great youth
initiatives in Newcastle. Please like our Facebook page.
If
you are super keen to join, fill in an application form, available on Councils
website and
when a spot opens up, we will be in contact.
