the Y
Are you 15 to 25 & live, work or study in the Ballarat area?
Y Ballarat believe in the power of inspired young people. We want young people to tell us what they want and how we can support you to achieve this! As a member of our volunteer Youth Action and Advisory Group you will be given a platform to share your voice as a young person living, working or studying in Ballarat, to advocate for things that matter to YOU!
You will be the youth face of Y Ballarat, run and attend events, advise and consult with the Y Ballarat to effectively engage young people, make real and lasting change for local young people, and most importantly have fun!!!
So what does it involve?
Want to get involved?

Over the past 12 months the YAAG has worked with the Y Ballarat Board, the local community and organisations such as Headspace and Tiny Pride. They have developed and supported intiatives for other young people, including events and workshops, educational materials and added a youth voice to the Y Ballarat’s strategy.
Through their experiences with the Y, members of our Youth Action and Advisory Group found that they were empowered to achieve impact in ways they couldn’t have imagined.
They wrote the Y Ballarat a heartfelt letter sharing their highlights and thoughts on their journey of growth.
