Applications are currently open for young people who have a connection to Knox to join our Youth Advisory Committee and Youth Engagement Crew.
These provide great opportunities for young people to have their say in a meaningful way, gain confidence in participating in civic and community engagement processes, plan and deliver events for youth, learn about Council and issues facing the local community and meet other young people from Knox.
The Youth Advisory Committee ensures that a youth perspective is considered on issues that affect the lives and wellbeing of local young people in Knox.
As a Youth Advisory Committee member you will share your ideas for your local community, have your say about local issues that affect young people, develop your skills and experience, and meet other young people in Knox City Council.
Meetings are held monthly and will commence in February 2023.
Expressions of interest for the Youth Advisory Committee will close Wednesday 15 November
The Youth Engagement Crew help Knox to create, organise and lead activities and campaigns about important issues involving young people in Knox.
Previous events that the Youth Engagement Crew have worked on include Knox Youth Summit, Knox Festival, and Stringybark Festival.
As a Youth Engagement crew member, you will help to create, organise and lead activities, develop leadership and community engagement skills, design meaningful engagement opportunities for young people and build community, networks and friendship.
Meetings are held fortnightly on a Tuesday from 4pm to 5.30pm at our Youth Information Centre (Westfield Knox).
The crew meets weekly in the lead up to events.
