YEC South Australia

Since 1997, the Youth Environment Council (YEC) of South Australia has provided young people a voice in key environmental issues facing South Australia and has given them opportunities to take action to achieve a more environmentally sustainable future for SA.

The Youth Environment Council provides an opportunity for like-minded Year 7-10 students to share, learn and be inspired about sustainability.  The YEC offers free camps, online workshops and forums to give students the skills and knowledge to run their own environmental action projects in their local community.

For more information about the YEC, download our flyer and watch our 5 minute promotional video below.

If you would like to apply to be a member of the YEC, please visit our membership page.

The Youth Environment Council aims to:
  • raise youth awareness and encourage learning and involvement in our environment
  • empower youth to take action on environmental issues
  • ensure students see themselves as active citizens today and not just "leaders of tomorrow"
  • develop skills such as leadership, team work and public speaking
  • develop a network of youth environmental and sustainability leaders
  • enable students to share ideas and actions.
The YEC is a joint initiative of the Department for Education and Green Adelaide. Statewide support and coordination for the YEC are delivered through partnerships with other Landscape South Australia Boards and environmental agencies.
