Luke,
The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) and the Federation Press
produce a book called "Working The System" which I think is what you are
looking for.
http://www.federationpress.com.au/bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9780958669450.
PIAC also run a course based on the book.
Its not youth-specific though.
If there's enough demand and you can't identify anything appropriate,
NCYLC would be interested in helping to develop a child rights / youth
specific online resource that meets the need that you have identified.
