Tumby Bay Youth Advisory Council
The District Council of Tumby Bay Youth Advisory Council (YAC)
Over many years the YAC have demonstrated their commitment to identifying and addressing the needs of young people in our district. We've had enthusiastic and vibrant young people who work to improve life and wellbeing for themselves and their peers, cultivate new skills and make a difference in their community.
To get involved you need to be:
- aged 11 - 18 years
- live, work, study , play or volunteer in the District Council of Tumby Bay
- be able to attend fortnightly meetings and participate in YAC activities.
What will the YAC do?
This will be decided by the group, however, some ideas the YAC may touch on include:
- How young people can influence decision making - from community to the chamber
- The power (or not) of social media and how/what messaging is crucial between council and community
- Environmental impact on the future of young poeple by not fully recycling in the District Council of Tumby Bay
- Lead a Clean-up Australia Day activity – District Council of Tumby Bay tidy day
- Lead a coastal saltmarsh redevelopment activity in association with the EP Landscape Board
- Volunteering - the impact it can have on self and others
- National Youth Week
- Colour Tumby Festival - planning for impact in 2025
- Grants - what grants are available for young people.
