Young Leaders of the West
Learn new skills while educating your local communities on gambling harm
What is the Young Leaders of the West program?
Young Leaders of the West [YLOTW] brings motivated young people together with health and community organisations to influence behaviour change in their peer communities around the prevention of gambling harm.
Who are the Young Leaders?
Our YLOTW are volunteer ambassadors aged between 18 and 25 years who live or work in the western suburbs and want to make real life societal change to the communities and people around them. They enjoy communicating, have big ideas, know how to be a team player, are open to a range of different opinions, and love to learn.
What’s in it for me?
The YLOTW program will look great on your resume! We’ll help you to build real world skills in program creation, project management, event planning, workshop delivery, community health and more. You’ll be tackling a growing social issue and you’ll be compensated for your time with a gift voucher. We’ll also feed you!
