Youth Advisory Group
The Shire of Manjimup Youth Advisory Group (YAG) is all about helping amplifying young voices!
YAG is a place for youth who want to positively impact their community - plan youth events and activities, create opportunities to learn new skills, and help grow a community that is inclusive, empowering and supportive of young people.
The best part? You don't need any experience in being a leader! YAG is a safe space to build your skills, get involved in your local community and promote positive change by advocating on a range of youth issues.

When we meet:
