Youth Summit
About Moreland's youth summits
Moreland's Youth Summits encourage young people to participate in, and have a say about their community.
Young people who work, live or study in Moreland come together to discuss issues of concern and make recommendations about the future direction of youth services in Moreland.
Benefits of the youth summit
Information gathered from youth summits helps Council, community organisations and other service providers interact with and meet the needs of young people in Moreland.
The event is also an excellent opportunity to promote the value, talents and contributions of young people in the Moreland community.
