Penrith City Council is calling for passionate young leaders to join the Youth Leadership Team for the Youth-Led Action Plan 2025-30.
The Council says the youth team provides an exciting opportunity for young people aged 15-20 to take an active role in shaping the future of youth engagement and leadership in Penrith.
The Youth-Led Action Plan 2025-30 represents a new approach to youth involvement in decision-making, emphasising youth leadership, real-time engagement, and the diverse perspectives of young people across Penrith, said Mayor, Todd Carney.
The Youth Leadership Team will play a key role in leading initiatives, shaping ideas, and providing valuable insights to guide the implementation of the new Youth-Led Action Plan, he said.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to be at the forefront of an innovative youth-led initiative,” said Mayor Carney.
The Youth Leadership Team will be responsible for planning activities such as workshops, events, social media campaigns, and peer outreach programs.
By engaging with other young people, committee members will help ensure that a wide range of ideas and experiences are represented in the development and delivery of the Youth-Led Action Plan.
