Are you a youth worker on the Great South Coast who wants to help young people understand Victoria’s new affirmative consent legislation?

Yeah, Nah is a peer-led, affirmative consent education workshop run by YACVic Rural’s Southern Mallee team, funded by the Victorian Government.

Yeah, Nah’s focus is on making sure young people know that true affirmative consent is given in the moment, not hours before.
