Youth Advisory Committee Guidelines

What is a Youth Advisory Committee

Youth Advisory Committes (YACs) are groups of young people aged 12-25 years who work in partnership with local councils to provide advice on decisions that affect their lives.

YACs also plan activities and projects that encourage young people’s active engagement in their local communities.

Each YAC differs depending on their location and the demographics and social issues of their region. Their priority and the resources allocated to them also differ.
Some YACs operate as formal section 41 sub-committees of Council, others use informal structures or operate as interest groups that form and disband as required.

The Office for Youth provides state coordination of the Youth Advisory Committee program within South Australia.
To find out more about your YAC contact your local council.

For more information about the program, please contact Bec Curtain  (08) 8204 8466.
