The City of Greater Geelong is encouraging young people with an interest in serving their community to apply for the 2025 Youth Council.
Youth Council is a great opportunity for young people to build and strengthen their leadership skills and to advocate on behalf of their peers.
During their time in office, Youth Council members will develop new skills and learn about civic and democratic processes, and will connect with other like-minded young people.
As part of the program Youth Council members are also provided with mentoring sessions with Councillors.
To be eligible to nominate, individuals must live in the Greater Geelong City Council local government area, be aged between 12 and 17 years at the time of nomination, be able to attend 80 per cent of monthly meetings, and be able to participate in the three-day Youth Council induction in mid-late January 2025.
Nominations close on Friday September 13, and those interested can visit geelongaustralia.com.au/youthcouncil
