Young people in Brimbank looking to lead, learn and create positive change in the community can now apply for council’s ‘Brimbank change makers’ program.
The free six-month program is open to young people aged 18 to 25 who live, work or study in Brimbank.
Council said the program is an opportunity to learn from experienced facilitators and trusted leaders to bring ideas to life.
Participants will gain hands-on experience through workshops, co-design sessions and networking opportunities with local leaders.
Workshops will be held every two weeks on Thursdays between 5-7pm starting October 23 at Brimbank Learning Futures at Visy Cares Hub, 80B Harvester Road, Sunshine.
Brimbank youth council member Zehra Glamocic encouraged young people to get involved.
“Brimbank change makers is an opportunity for young people who are passionate and want to make a real difference to our community,” Zehra said.
“It’s going to be exciting to see the next generation of Brimbank leaders come together, grow, share ideas, and work on projects which will benefit our community.”
According to council, every participant in the program will have the opportunity to work alongside like-minded peers, build confidence and collaborate on meaningful ideas, with guidance at every step.
