For them they have developed a whole range of "Team" skills and have been involved in Civic Engagement and Advocacy activities for almost 18 months, not to mention the tangible outcomes of the Project which have been of great benefit to the broader Youth population in our Shire.   This "Youth Action Committee" has worked, I believe, for a few different reasons... 1. the young people involved shared a common vision and purpose 2. they had the power to really contribute, drive and shape the project at every point 3. they were "upskilled" along the way and continue to be offered other opportunities to enhance their skills base and connect with other services and agencies to do so 4. they skills they have learnt have been transferrable to other areas of their lives  5. they and their contributions have been valued, celebrated and rewarded along the way 6. their role has been very "task" focussed - they have been able to work together on different projects within the Project and this has kept their interest and enthusiasm     I have seen other "Advisory" models fall over or fall short because expectations, roles and purpose have been ambiguous or they have been locked into a consultative role only. I think young people appreciate the opportunity to "do" at the same time they are making sure their voices are heard.   Hope this is helpful.   Annie Rowland OurS Project Worker Macedon Ranges Shire Council Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 14:41:44 +1100 From: mgauci@bhsc.nsw.gov.au To: youthgas@elistas.com Subject: [youthgas] Youth Committee Model Hello Youth Gases!   Does anyone out there run a Youth Committee - but not along the same model as a Youth Advisory Council?   Do you have a YAC and a Youth Committee or do you have one and not the other?   If you could send me through some information in regards to which models you use and the ones that have worked and haven't work, or which model you prefer to use that would be fabulous!   Cheers   Mel   Melinda Gauci       Community Development Officer - Youth Baulkham Hills Shire Council Phone: (02) 9843 0149  Fax:(02) 9843 0412 Email: mgauci@bhsc.nsw.gov.au www.hype.au.com  www.myspace.com/hypeau     ****************************************************************** Views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender and not necessarily the views of Baulkham Hills Shire Council ****************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------------- You're subscribed to YouthGAS as annierowland@hotmail.com You can share with us (once subscribed) via youthgas @ elistas.com You can unsubscribe via youthgas-unsubscribe @ elistas.com Subscribe online at http://www.youthgas.com/ Listen now!
