What’s involved?

Australian Red Cross Victoria is looking for Victorian young people with a ‘can do’ attitude and a willingness to make a difference in their local community to join its Victorian Youth Advisory Committee (VYAC).

Why should people do this?

Being a member of the VYAC is a great way to meet new people who have the same interests as you. As a VYAC member you will assist the committee by helping to identify and discuss issues affecting young people in Victoria as well as review opportunities and programs at Australian Red Cross aimed at involving young people.

If you want to have an impact on tomorrow’s Australian Red Cross, join today!
