The Hon Ray Williams MP announces $1.1 million funding for new Youth Opportunities projects to commence in 2018.
The Minister responsible for Youth, the Hon Ray Williams MP, has announced the next round of funding for the Youth Opportunities Program.
The Program provides one-off, time-limited grants of up to $50,000 to not-for-profit organisations and local councils for youth-led and youth-driven community projects that have a positive youth development focus.
Funded projects from previous rounds have focused on providing young people with the opportunity to develop a range of life skills, including healthy behaviours; leadership, communication and teamwork; event management and planning; and volunteering opportunities that link young people to further education and training.
