Youth Summit 2024

On 1 August 2024, we hosted our first-ever Youth Summit at St Kilda Town Hall. The event was attended by 70 young leaders, aged 15-25 years from 6 local high schools and education centres. Throughout the day, the young leaders attended panel discussions, workshops, networking stalls and used these activities to inform and develop recommendations which were presented to Council at the end of the event. Young people were involved throughout the decision-making process and delivery of the event. The process of planning and delivering this event was guided by the Council’s Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) to ensure the needs and interests of young people remained at the forefront.

Youth Summit Next Steps

Middle Years & Youth Services are now collaborating with Council teams involved on the day to come up with agreed actions that can be taken in response to the set of recommendations. These actions will then be shared with the community. Later this year Middle Years & Youth Services will hold a ‘Report Card’ event, inviting all the Summit participants back to present the actions that resulted from their recommendations and to celebrate their advocacy.
