YACWA is the peak body for young people and the youth sector in WA. We are primarily a human rights organisation, working to ensure that young people have a voice on issues, policies and systems that affect them in a rapidly changing society. Read more about our work at www.yacwa.org.au
We work across:
1. Youth participation and leadership: ensuring young people have meaningful opportunities to contribute to and influence change and have a voice on issues that affect them
2. Sector support: ensuring a strong and sustainable youth sector
3. Policy and advocacy: developing evidence-based policy recommendations, informed by young people and the youth sector, to influence positive outcomes.
Regional YACWA is supported by Lotterywest
