We value the support of young people and encourage their involvement in decision-making. In 2021, 16.1% of people from the Georges River area were aged 12 to 24.

Our youth services are based on empowerment, purposeful engagement, and inclusiveness. We want to ensure that the voices of young people are heard. 
 

Community Development Programs and Initiatives

We know that the needs of local young people are addressed through appropriate services. We partner with local organisations to support the learning and development of local youth. We offer various programs that showcase the positive contributions that young people make within our community. These programs build leadership and creativity skills, while also celebrating inclusion and diversity.   

We partner with local organisations and support community programs. We do this through coordinating a network of youth sector professionals called the St George Youth Network. 
 

Youth Advisory Committee

The Georges River Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) allows young people to work with us and have their voices heard, while also addressing their needs and goals. 



See the below video that the YAC created to support young people with managing their mental health.
