Applications Close Soon for the 2023 group of Regional Youth Advocates
Regional Youth Called Upon to be in the Room Where it Happens
Applications close soon for the 2023 Regional Youth Taskforce, an advisory group that shares feedback and ideas to the Minister for Regional Youth and the Office for Regional Youth about issues that affect young people living in regional NSW.
The Taskforce offers youth throughout rural and regional NSW an opportunity to meet with government and inform decision making that will have flow-on benefits for their peers and communities.
The Taskforce is comprised of 18 members aged 12-24, each with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and with two people representing each of the state’s nine regions. The group meets four times throughout the year either online or in person. Travel costs, meals and accommodation are covered when travel for meetings is required.
Being part of the 2023 Regional Youth Taskforce will allow young people to connect with like-minded people and talk about issues such as entering the workforce, mental health, public transport and connectivity in the regions.
Applications close 23 October 2022 and young people aged 12-24 living in regional areas are eligible. The fourth Taskforce will be appointed from January 2023 until 31 December 2023.
If you want to make a difference to your community, we encourage you to apply.
