Australian Youth Led Convention

Australia’s first Youth Led Convention will bring together the top young leaders from Australia’s pree­m­in­ent youth led organ­isa­tions for the first time. Over a weekend in Canberra the attendees will develop and gain valu­able skills through high quality work­shops delivered by leading pro­fes­sion­als in key know­ledge areas required for running an organisation.

The Convention has three key aims:

  • Develop long term and trans­fer­able skills in the senior leaders of youth-led organisations;
  • Allow for net­work­ing and part­ner­ship oppor­tun­it­ies between young leaders and the Australian Government; and
  • Recognise the work of the Youth Led Sector.

The Convention is a joint project between the Australian Government and the Left Right Think-Tank, Australia’s first think-tank of young minds.

Application Details

Applications are now open for leaders of youth-led organ­isa­tions or pro­jects within youth-led organ­isa­tions in Australia to attend the Convention.

Broadly, a Youth-led organ­isa­tion is one that is run by young people and where young people are the pre­dom­in­ant decision makers about the dir­ec­tion and activ­it­ies of the organisation.

Applications closed on the 3rd September 2010 and the invite list has been announced.
