Minister for Youth's Leadership Grants
Youth Leadership Grants for December are now open.
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective.
The Minister for Youth's Leadership Grants are available to support young people to undertake leadership opportunities they could not otherwise afford.
Examples of youth leadership activities include:
- assisting newly arrived refugees with their transition into their local community
- leading a recycling project within your sporting club
- negotiating with your local council and community to undertake a mural project for young people
Applications for Youth Leadership Grants close on the 15th day of each month.
Youth Leadership Grants will now be available via YouthSMART, the Office for Youth’s new online system for submitting applications, taking care of reporting requirements and managing personal records.
