Expressions of Interest now open to join our Youth Advisory Group
Have your say on issues important to young people as part of our Youth Advisory Group
Objectives of the Youth Advisory Group
This group will:
- deepen and broaden our Foundation’s understanding of the issues affecting young people today
- influence our ongoing initiatives to help youth in crisis
- provide a platform to share the opinions, aspirations and concerns of young people in our community.
Terms of Reference
The group will include up to ten young people aged between 16-29 (at the time of their appointment) and reflect the diversity of young Australians. All members must be current Australian citizens. This is not a decision-making or voting body on behalf of Sir David Martin Foundation, but a group that provides advice on issues relating to young people, particularly concerning their health and wellbeing.
Members of the group:
- volunteer their services on a pro bono basis
- are appointed as individuals, not representatives of any other agencies
- commit to meet up to four times a year for one hour, facilitated by a member of the Sir David Martin Foundation team – 3x virtual meetings and 1x in person meeting (relevant travel costs met by the Foundation).
- agree for their photo and biography to be shared on Foundation’s website and marketing mediums
- contribute to Foundation’s understanding of range of challenges that different cohorts of young people face (ATSI experience is highly valued)
- contribute ideas in the development of a health promotion campaign destigmatising youth addiction
- potentially act as spokesperson for the Foundation’s youth initiatives in a roundtable or media environment.
