Join the syd Youth Advisory Council!

Posted Monday July 7, 2025

We are seeking enthusiastic and dedicated young people, aged 12–24, who live in Otago. If you're committed to addressing key issues, advocating for change, and ensuring youth voice is heard in all the mahi SYD does, then we want you!

Positions are open to a diverse range of young people, including:

  • Students in school or home-schooled

  • Young people in alternative education

  • Youth in employment

  • Community representatives

Our mission is to encourage active youth participation in a meaningful way, both now and in the future. Youth are at the center of our name and the center of our decision-making for the outcomes we aspire to achieve. This is a fantastic opportunity to embrace diverse voices and provide more opportunities for young people across Otago!
