Dear YEN Members, friends and youth allies,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming YEN meeting on Sunday,17 May 2026, and there’s a lot to explore, learn, and share together. 

We’ll be introducing the youth-led Toolkit for Queensland, a new initiative focused on strengthening youth advocacy, leadership, and representation across multicultural communities. This is your chance to be part of shaping something meaningful from the ground up. 

We have opened an Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for those who want to get involved in co-designing the toolkit: Youth Toolkit Development – EOI Form

Alongside this, the session will include: 

• Welcoming our new YEN leadership members  

• A short presentation on the Interpreter Employment Success Program (IESP) and how it can benefit you  

• Guest Speaker: Cindel Richardson, Queensland Police

• Group Activity: arts, crafts, poetry and story sharing

There’s plenty to take away, and just as much to contribute.
