Northern Beaches Council is looking for young people aged 12 - 24 to represent the voices of young people in the Northern Beaches Local Government Area and improve the participation and advocacy of young people in local government planning and processes, and community life.

Applications for the Northern Beaches Youth Advisory Group are open until Sunday 19 October.

Council’s Youth Advisory Group provides an important pathway for young people to shape the future of the Northern Beaches including contributing to the delivery of Council’s Youth Voice Action Plan 2023-2028.

The Youth Advisory Group works with Council staff and other stakeholders to identify the needs and aspirations of young people across the Northern Beaches, and work on several projects to address them, particularly through Youth Week activities and the annual Have Your Say Day.

We’re looking for passionate young people with big ideas who care about their community.

Commitment to the program includes monthly meetings with additional training and volunteering opportunities available. As well as gaining valuable life and employment skills, successful applicants will also have the chance to make new friends. No formal experience or skills are needed to apply.
