How can I join?

To apply for the YEC, you must:

• be a South Australian student in Year 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.

YEC members will be expected to: 

• attend all face-to-face events (i.e. the Welcome Forum, Sustainability Camp, Leadership Conference and Sharing & Celebration Day)  
• organise their own transport to and from events (travel for regional students can be subsidised, with members reimbursed after attending the event) 
• work on a sustainability project of their choice 
• maintain communication with YEC staff (and other members where appropriate) throughout the year via emails, forums, events etc 
• have fun, give things a go, be open to new experiences, and bring good vibes to the council. 

​

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