Youth Committee

Help make our community a great place for young people to live and work by being a part of our Youth Committee. We take on new members at any time during the year. Complete the application form if you are aged 12-24 years and want to make a difference in our local community.

The Youth Committee is a group of local young people who meet during school terms to:

  • give their views on Council's plans and operations
  • plan activities and projects for other local young people
  • volunteer and participate in community events
  • build cooperation and leadership skills through the committee's activities.

We encourage membership from all five Eurobodalla high schools, as well as young people who have left school. Membership is strongly supported for young people from diverse backgrounds including those who identify as LGBTIQ+, First Nations, culturally diverse, low income and living with disabilities.

Committee members have opportunities to develop leadership skills, attend professional development and grow networks and relationships across local schools and community.

Members can actively participate in youth initiatives on a local, state and federal level - membership also looks great on a resume. Transport assistance is available and a delicious lunch is provided at committee meetings.
