Youth Foundations Victoria (YFV)

Youth Foundations Victoria (YFV) is an exciting new initiative that helps young people make a real difference to their communities. YFV offers genuine opportunities for young people in 15 communities across Victoria to get involved.

Groups of local young people from different backgrounds come together in each location to look at the needs of their community and then make grants to other young people to run activities to benefit that community. The young people are also responsible for raising funds to add to those contributed by government, community and private partners.

Through the initiative, the young people are be supported to develop skills and their achievements will be promoted locally and around the state.

Put up your hands to support them!
