FYI Youth in the Spotlight
Spotlighting Townsville’s young people, through recognising significant contributions youth have made and to highlight current community initiatives.
FYI (Focus on Youth Initiatives) Youth in the Spotlight will bring together various youth groups, individuals and youth networks to create connections and further our genuine community capacity building links of council to the community, community to community, young people to community plus build on existing initiatives and networks. We aim to highlight the importance of a range of innovative programs and initiatives; stressing the importance of connectivity within youth networks which create positive outcomes for individuals and our community.
If you are aware of a young person who deserves acknowledgement of a youth program or organisation that the rest of the community should be aware of, then we encourage you to email us and nominate them to be showcased during FYI 2013.
If you would like to get involved in FYI Youth in the Spotlight free youth gala event in 2013 please email us to be added to our invite list.
