Emerald Youthinc Group

Youthinc is Central Highlands Regional Council's main local youth advisory group. The group works directly with the Youth Development Officer and other key stakeholders to help identify youth priorities within a community. Priorities may include unmet local needs of youth, the development and delivery of local events or representation at broader regional initiatives. The group is aimed for ages 10 to 25 with a target of High School aged students. There is no joining fee and council seeks to ensure that the ongoing costs of participation is minimised where possible. Council partners with a number of youth-based services in the region in the delivery of the group and its events, so participants are exposed to a broad range of regional service providers. Each Youthinc group is formed differently so make sure you have taken the time to read the information on this page. If you would like to know more about the group call council on 1300 242 686 and talk to one of the Youth Development officers or email your questions to youth@chrc.qld.gov.au
