Council is seeking up to 10 young people aged 18-25 years to be representatives on their new project, the Youth Leadership Collective (The Collective).
Interested applicants should have a significant connection to the City of Greater Dandenong, have leadership experience and be passionate about supporting youth leadership opportunities in the local community.
Background
Through various consultations including feedback from the 2024 Youth Leadership Forum, young people have highlighted the importance for Greater Dandenong Council and key local youth organisations to prioritise and invest in youth leadership and active citizenship opportunities, particularly among our culturally diverse young people.
Greater Dandenong Youth Services is committed to supporting and promoting youth leadership opportunities in the local community and has worked with young people and youth agencies to develop an action plan.
Once recruited, participants of The Collective will help inform and guide Youth and Family Services in the delivery of the Greater Dandenong Youth Leadership Action Plan.
What is expected of young people recruited to The Collective
Successful participants appointed to The Collective will need to attend monthly meetings over a 12-month period. Participants will receive an honorarium to compensate them for their time and contributions.
