The Youth Coalition takes a collaborative approach to all its work, in consulting and engaging with members and stakeholders on policy and advocacy opportunities; and in the development and implementation of sector development.
One of the ways that the Youth Coalition aims to achieve its objectives is through pro-actively engaging in the development of policy that affects young people aged 12 – 25, and responding to policy activities such as discussion papers and strategies.
The Youth Coalition undertakes a range of advocacy and representation work that aims to raise awareness of emerging issues to both government and the broader community. Advocacy and representation work takes place through sitting on forums, committees, advisory groups, steering groups and boards; as well as through meetings with MLAs, government department officials and other stakeholders. The Youth Coalition also advocates to progress the interests of young people through developing policy submissions and participating in policy activities.
The Youth Coalition provides a number of sector development activities to workers and services in the youth and community sectors; that focus on information provision, training, networking, resource development, collaborations and partnerships. These activities aim to support workers and services to build their capacity and improve their practice in working with young people in the ACT.
The Youth Coalition provides consultancy support to community-based programs and services, as well as government agencies to undertake service improvement, research and evaluation activities that seek to improve outcomes for young people and their families.
