New program to build young people’s power in local government

A new partnership between Mackay Regional Council and the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) is bringing a pilot program to the region that will revolutionise how young people are included in local government.

Youth-led organisations Tomorrow Movement, Common Ground, Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC), Think Forward, Run For It, and the National Union for Students (NUS), say the Australian Government’s 2021 Budget has failed to address young people’s key concerns and needs.
