Become a Blacktown City Youth Ambassador
Blacktown City Council is on the lookout for young people aged between 15 and 18 to represent the City in 2024.
Council has conducted a ‘Youth Ambassador’ program since 1983 and applications for the 2024 program are now open.
Council will select two young people to serve as Ambassadors for a period of 12 months representing the city at Citizenship Ceremonies, Civic Receptions and Youth Forums, as well as being part of Council’s Sister Cities and Youth Advisory Committees.
Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said; “If you are a young person who enjoys public speaking, meeting new people, helping your community and would like to represent the youth of Blacktown City then this is the program for you!”
Former Youth Ambassador and this year’s Blacktown City Young Citizen of the Year, Ebony O’Connor said: “My tenure as Blacktown Youth Ambassador in 2019/2020 continues to open doors for me today and has equipped me with the skills and networks to engage young people in my community.”
Applicants must be 15 – 18 years of age, live in Blacktown City, have a sound knowledge of Blacktown City and are required to provide a brief summary on why they should be considered for selection as a Youth Ambassador.
Applications close Wednesday 21 February 2024. Full details: https://www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au/Community/Our-people/Children-and-young-people/2024-Youth-Ambassador-Program
