Council offers leadership opportunities for young people

Published on 26 February 2019

Council is looking for young people to help support the planning and delivery of our youth programs and initiatives in 2019.

Become a youth ambassador

Applications are now open for our senior youth leadership program—the Macedon Ranges Youth Ambassador Program—that supports and mentors young people aged 16–21.

During the year, ambassadors will:

design and implement a community project in response to a youth issue represent youth voices to council decision-making plan, coordinate and host the celebrated Youth Awards participate in a two-day youth leadership training program.
