If you’ve got ideas, passion and a point of view to express…if you want to improve youth facilities… run youth activities in the Shire… want to have input into Council decision making… or just want to be part of community issues like improving the environment,  then you should consider nominating for the Byron Shire Youth Council.

We’re looking for up to 15 people who want to make a difference to the way young people are supported in our community.

You don’t need any previous experience or skills. In fact we’re keen to have a Youth Council that includes young people from all sorts of backgrounds and with different life experiences.

The purpose of the Youth Council will be to ….
