Hi Everyone,
Applications have been extended to Friday 15th February for an exciting action opportunity for
Melbourne young
people aged 16 to 25. Please distribute this to your networks and amongst
any young people you know. There is an honorarium of $50 to say thank you
to participants for their time. We are especially keen to hear from people with diverse
backgrounds and life experiences - including young people who are Indigenous,
from a migrant or refugee background, carers (or have been in care), have a
disability, are same-sex attracted and/or transgender.
All
of the info can be found online: http://www.actnow.com.au/Action/Call_to_Action.aspx
Cheers,
Michelle

The Inspire Foundation (www.inspire.org.au), a national
organisation that creates opportunities for young people to change their world,
is looking for young people aged 16 to 25 who
live in Melbourne to be part of our Youth Advisory Group for the
Bridging the Digital Divide: Youth Action Project. This project is
generously supported by VicHealth and the Westpac Foundation.
This national project is
about creating opportunities for young people to take action on issues that
they are passionate about and develop the skills they need to make change. In
2007 Inspire ran ‘action workshops’ in Adelaide,
Canberra, Sydney,
Perth, Melbourne
and Shepparton and in 2008 we plan on running even more. We are also launching
a new element called the Action Challenge, a competition for workshop
participants.
To do that, we are looking
for 15 young people aged 16 to 25 with diverse backgrounds and life experiences
to provide advice that will assist in decision making about the project.
We’re looking for
people who
- Are aged 16 to 25
- Live in Melbourne
and are able to get themselves to a meeting venue in the city (We’ll
reimburse Zone 1&2 public transport fares)
- Use the Internet and other technologies and are able to
access the internet for about an hour at least once a week, and
- Want to let us know if we’re on the right track
We are
especially keen to hear from people with diverse backgrounds and life
experiences - including young people who are Indigenous, from a migrant or
refugee background, carers (or have been in care), have a disability, are
same-sex attracted and/or transgender.
