The Kwinana Youth Advisory Council, or the 'KYAC' for short, are a passionate and diverse group of young people who work together alongside youth workers, city staff and other organisations to bring positive change to Kwinana. We represent young people in our community by organising and attending events for youth, informing plans and strategies that impact young people in our area and seeking opportunities to increase and strengthen youth engagement in our city. The KYAC is open to anyone aged 14-24 years old who lives, works or studies in Kwinana. Being a part of the YAC is a great experience to develop leadership skills, volunteer, and be a voice for youth in Kwinana; all while creating strong friendships and memories along the way.
