Empowering Youth

Empowering Youth to Inspire Change Semester 2 2025

Empowering Youth to Inspire Change (EYTIC) is a leadership program with a social justice focus offered to students across six schools in the Sutherland and St George region. 16 year 10 students began their journey as youth ambassadors for the program at the beginning of the year and will complete the program at the final showcase event in term 4.

In term 2 and into this term the group have completed their second leadership training day where they learned to develop resilience, motivation and social skills. At the end of term 2 they attended a networking event in Sutherland, meeting with other youth ambassadors from 5 participating schools to discuss leadership objectives, meet liked-minded students and foster engagement within the community.

Next up the group will complete their second workshop with volunteers from headspace as well as develop a creative project to promote anti racism in their community. I look forward to seeing the group continue to strengthen their skills in the second half of the year.
