The Youth Network of Tasmania (YNOT) is the peak body for the non government youth sector in Tasmania. YNOT has input into and responds to policy direction, advocates for youth sector and lobbies for the needs and initiatives for young people.

Integral to the work of YNOT is the youth participation structure, known as the Tasmanian Youth Forum (TYF). TYF is Tasmania’s peak youth consultative and participatory body. Its members are young people, 12 to 25 years of age, who gather together to discuss issues that affect the youth of Tasmania.

Young People Getting a Good Wrap

Young people too often get a bad wrap in the media and the community. But we know that young people around the country and the dedicated workers who support them are doing fantastic things, that need to be recognised. 'Young People Getting a Good Wrap' is an opportunity for young people, youth workers, youth services and community members to share positive messages about young people and the youth sector. This project is run by the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition Australia's, National Peak Body for young people and the sector that supports them.

Get Involved!

All you need to do is take a photo of yourself holding a positive message about young people or a message about what your service contributes to the Australian community . It's that easy, make sure your message is clearly legible and feel free to send us some information about yourself to be included on the blog! When you're done email it through to policy@ayac.org.au for uploading! Encourage friends, co-workers family members, politicians, pretty much anyone - to get involved and share their positive messages about young people.
