Bathurst Regional Youth Council 2024/2025 applications open
Published on 29 May 2024
Applications are now open for the 2024/2025 Bathurst Regional Youth Council.
The Bathurst Regional Youth Council consists of young people aged between 12 and 24 years and is an opportunity for them to engage with the Bathurst Regional Council and other youth service providers.
Mayor Cr Jess Jennings said the Youth Council provides our community’s youth with a range of opportunities throughout their term.
“Members of the Bathurst Regional Youth Council have the opportunity to develop and promote youth-friendly activities, voice young people’s opinions and concerns, raise awareness of youth issues, and develop an understanding of Local Government’s planning and operational processes.”
Current Youth Mayor Jasmyn Nankervis said anyone who was interested in nominating for the Youth Council should attend the information session on Monday 3 June in the Council Chamber.
“For the past two years I have been part of the Bathurst Regional Youth Council and loved every minute of it.”
“I came into the council not very confident but knowing that I wanted to make a change in our community and be a voice for the youth. We have been able to successfully run events, participate in other community activities, have important conversations with sectors of council and locals.
“So if you are between the ages of 12-24 and have a passion for organising events, an interest in politics or just want to make a difference in Bathurst the Youth Council is for you. If you would like to find out more about Youth Council there is an info night on 3 June from 4.30pm - 6.30pm where you can talk to current youth councillors. Otherwise reach out to us on the Bathurst_youth Instagram or the BRC website.”
“This is an opportunity to learn more about what is involved in being a Youth Councillor and the skills and knowledge you will gain from being part of the Youth Council, Jasmyn said.
