How can I join?

To apply for the YEC, you must:
  • be in years 7-11
  • have permission from a parent/guardian
  • have endorsement from a supportive teacher or principal (e.g. the schools needs to be comfortable with you representing them)
  • understand the expectations of the role of a member and agree to these.

As a member of the YEC you will be expected to:
  • travel to camps, workshops and forums. These are fully funded. (Travel subsidy provided to rural students)
  • actively participate in discussions, activities and workshops throughout the year
  • keep in contact through email, the website, face to face events and organised online workshops
  • be willing to represent your school and the State in a responsible manner: the same rules of respect and good behaviour that apply at school will apply during all YEC activities.
 
Applications are generally open in February and March.
