Youth Environment Council of South Australia

Are you a South Australian student in Year 7-11 with a passion for sustainability?  Do you want to make a difference and develop your leadership skills while having heaps of fun?

​The Youth Environment Council (YEC) of South Australia is a long-running annual Green Adelaide program that gives you opportunities to meet others and develop your skills to act for a sustainable future.

You will learn and share ideas about sustainability, take part in a camp and regular forums, and get support to start your own project at your school or with your community.


Applications for 2026 are closed. Applications for 2027 will open at the end of the year.
Find more information on the "How can I join" page.
