Whitehorse News - April 2023
Whitehorse Youth Services is excited to be chosen to participate in the Victorian Youth Parliament 2023!
Youth Parliament is an annual residential program run by the YMCA that draws together 20 teams (each comprised of six young people aged 16-25) from across Victoria to advocate for issues that matter to them.
Across the span of five months, participants will learn about the Victorian legislative system, develop advocacy and community leadership skills, and create and debate their own proposed legislation (Bill) on an issue that they are passionate about.
After our interviewing stage we are excited to have accepted six amazing young leaders with diverse backgrounds, passions and experiences.
An interesting fact is that since Youth Parliament has been running, 36 Bills have actually become State Legislation!
We look forward to seeing the amazing work from these young people.
