Youth Leadership

Focusing on young people’s varied needs at local, State and Federal Government level, YACWA works to engender and enhance positive community attitudes towards young people. Our work is guided by the values of respect, equity, integrity and the celebration of diversity. An integral part of what we do here at YACWA is to effectively engage young people to ensure they are empowered.

Here are some of the more prominent projects we work on with young people:

YEP CrewYEP Crew

YEP Crew (Peer Educators) is a youth-led program that aims to give young people opportunities to connect with other young people, get educated about issues that affect them and take action to make positive changes regarding sexual health, relationships and blood-borne virus issues in their communities.

The Peer Educators provide sexual health, relationships and blood-borne virus (BBV) education to other young people through a range of creative, engaging, and interactive strategies. They work together as a team to design and deliver online social media initiatives and outreach activities for young people in a variety of online settings.
