Youth Engagement Program

Our youth activities includes weekly zoom meetings with the ‘Murray River Freedom Crew’ members, to discuss youth events and activities they would like to see in their community.

The group discusses youth issues that are effecting their age groups and how council can help them overcome the barriers they face as young people living in a rural area.

The program offers early intervention services; within the scope of the Targeted Early Intervention program within the NSW Family and Community Services Child, Youth and Family Service program.

Once referred to YEP we can provide young people with support either individually or in a small group setting.  We can offer individual assessment and support to consider high level referrals of benefit; within the parameters of council’s service capacity and skill-set. We will also conduct individual Life Plan sessions to recognise personal life goals, needs and aspirations.

Youth Week 

Each year we endeavour to celebrate Youth Week through an event or activity that connects the youth across our area.

Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to express their ideas and views, act on issues that affect their lives, and create and enjoy activities and events.

We occasionally offer youth week support grants to organisations that would like to run their own Youth Week activities. You can find out more here. 

Other events

We also have plenty of other social events that pop-up like movie nights and workshops, just to name a few.
