Kingston Youth Services FReeZA Committee

Kingston Youth Services is currently recruiting for 2022 FReeZA Committee members. 

The goal of FReeZA is to enable young peoples’ participation in community life through leading the planning, development and delivery of music, cultural and recreational events. Through initiatives such as FReeZA, young people take a central role in staging events that not only strengthen their skills and talents, but also celebrate and recognise the important contribution they make to the local community. The FReeZA program is based on a youth participation model where young people are front and centre. The FReeZA program also provides important performance opportunities for local musicians and young emerging artists.

Students interested in joining, need to complete an Expression of Interest form and a youth worker will contact you to discuss further.  Questions or to discuss further you can contact email or call the team on 1300 369 436.
