Known as Full Impact, the project will help young people develop the skills to inform, advocate and participate in civic governance systems.
Tomorrow Today is looking for a diverse group of young people, aged 11 to 19 years, to form the Full Impact Advisory Committee.
*** Benalla Show scaled back with public unable to attend
The committee will take part in a series of workshops run by the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria aimed at developing the skills and knowledge to lead and influence change in the community.
Tomorrow Today student engagement and transitions co-ordinator Alex Ross said young people would gain important communication, negotiation, problem solving, presentation and leadership skills from the project.
“Benalla’s young people have fabulous ideas and many are really passionate about our community,” Ms Ross said.
