The Bayside Youth Ambassadors committee is open to young people 12 – 25 years who have a connection to the City of Bayside and are eager to have their voices heard in our wider community. The once-a-month commitment will offer young people amazing personal development training and the opportunity to consult on things happening in Bayside that impact young people.
Young people will come together with other Bayside young leaders, address our Councillors and MPs and have their say about issues from the environment, employment, transport and health as well as gaining valuable skills in leadership and advocacy.
