Youth CONSULTATIVE Group

Wollondilly Shire Council is committed to creating a more inclusive and accessible community for young people. To support this goal, we are establishing a Youth Consultative Group and invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from young individuals who are passionate about youth advocacy and community development.

This group will provide valuable insights to ensure that Council’s work reflects the needs, priorities, and lived experiences of young people in Wollondilly. Members will play a key role in shaping youth-focused policies, programs, and events that create meaningful opportunities for young people across the Shire.

Expressions of Interest

We are seeking young individuals who:

• Are aged 12-24 years and live, study, or work in Wollondilly.
• Have a strong interest in youth advocacy, community engagement, and creating positive change.
• Want to contribute ideas and perspectives on topics such as education, employment, mental health, recreation, and youth services.
• Are willing to actively participate in meetings, consultations, and initiatives aimed at improving services and opportunities for young people.
• Are interested in planning and implementing youth events and activities, including Youth Week.

Members will work collectively to identify and implement solutions to issues affecting young people in Wollondilly.

Selection Process

Youth Consultative Group members will be recruited through a public Expression of Interest (EOI) process, which will be advertised and promoted via Council’s website and various media channels.

Selection will be based on responses provided in the EOI, including:

• Applicant’s age and location
• Interest areas and skills
• Relevant experience
• Availability and commitment

If you are passionate about making a difference and shaping the future of Wollondilly, we encourage you to apply. Closes 30 April 2025.
