Our Future Proof Advisory Group was established in January 2023 and consists of 10 young people aged 12-19, living, studying or working in Indigo Shire.
Members of the group are meeting fortnightly to provide advice and participate in meetings and events that promote resilience-building in bushfire affected communities. Members are receiving access to free training in project management, emergency preparedness, public speaking, governance processes, leadership, peer facilitation and other relevant community activation expertise.
Participating young people are also being renumerated for their time and expertise, with a base rate of $35 per hour.
We will be sharing our members bios and headshots shortly so you can get to know our recovery champions and congratulate them for their work. Watch this space to learn more about them and what they are up to.
This group is part of the Future Proof project, a partnership between Indigo Shire Council and the Youth Affairs Council Victoria and is fully funded through a grant from the Australian Government.
