Youth Environment Council of South Australia

Are you a student in Yr. 7-11 with a passion for sustainability? Want to make a difference and develop your leadership skills while having heaps of fun?
​
The Youth Environment Council (YEC) of South Australia provides young people with a voice in key environmental issues facing South Australia, and gives them opportunities to take action to achieve a more environmentally sustainable future for SA. Members learn and share ideas about sustainability, take part in online and face to face forums, and receive support to run their own environmental projects at school or in their local community.
