Expressions of interest – Huon Valley Youth Working Group 2023

Last year saw the transformation of the Huon Valley Youth Committee into the Huon Valley Youth Working Group. The group was created to support, educate, and celebrate youth in the Huon Valley. They worked on some amazing projects in 2022, including:

• The creation of the 12 to 24: Huon Valley Youth brand
• Social media campaigns around drugs, tobacco, and alcohol use
• Youth mental health forum/panel

Heaps of other ideas came up which we can work on this year, including:

• Planning more youth events in the valley like climate cafes, an LGBTQIA+ group, and some movie, music, or trivia nights
• Holding more youth forums like the mental health forum, around issues such as climate change, health, and peer pressure

If you are interested and have more questions:

• drop into the Hub and ask for Esther (I work Wednesday to Fridays); or
• drop in on Friday Night Games nights and say hi; or
• send me an email at youth@huonvalley.tas.gov.au

Or just fill out the form below.

The planned dates for this year are as follows:

1 – Friday March 17th (plan for Youth Week 2023 and discuss other events, such as a regular climate cafe)

2 – Friday June 9th

3 – Friday September 1st

4 – Friday November 24th
