From the crew at the Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia

The Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia (YACWA) is the peak non-government youth organisation in Western Australia. We operate primarily as a human rights organisation that seeks to address the exclusion of young people in a rapidly changing society.

YACWA advocates for young people’s varied needs at local, State and Federal Government levels whilst working to engender and enhance positive community attitudes towards young people.

YACWA strongly believes that ‘young people are experts in their own experiences’ and is dedicated to ensuring their equal access to participation in community decision making processes.

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.
