How can I join?

To apply for the YEC, you must:

• be a South Australian student aged 11-17 years 
• 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.

Each year, the YEC has a limited number of places available. Students from regional areas are encouraged to apply.
