- Youth Week Ambassadors play an active role in planning Youth Week celebrations, including being part of the Young People's Planning Committee
- Nominations will be open for six weeks and close on 21 July, 2024
Nominations are now open for young people aged 18-25 who are interested in becoming Western Australia's next Youth Ambassadors for 2025's WA Youth Week.
Youth Week WA is an annual celebration recognising the valuable contributions of young people, providing them with opportunities to connect across the State.
While the WA Youth Week Ambassador role is a volunteer opportunity, four people will be selected and form part of the Young People's Planning Committee for Youth Week, and act as spokespersons for Youth Week WA.
Youth Week WA Ambassadors will also have proactive input into the design and delivery of events and strategies for Youth Week, as well as the opportunity to attend events.
This year's Youth Week WA celebration kicked off in Albany on April 5, followed by more than 100 free and accessible events and activities throughout the State.
Applications close Sunday July 21, 2024 at 10pm.
