Youth Mob

Youth Mob is now in its second year and is a youth network for Aboriginal people aged 14-24 living in southern Tasmania. The two-year pilot program is autonomous, and youth led.

That’s right. YOU can help create and shape YOUR mob and learn about leadership, mentoring, enterprise development, public speaking, event organisation and connecting with culture. For more information and to join: www.youthmob.com.au
