Committee description
- Young people between the ages of 13-19 years from across the state are part of Zoos Victoria’s Youth Advisory Committee.
- The committee is made up of 15 members from diverse locations, backgrounds and life experiences to represent Victorian youth.
- Meetings are held twice over each school holidays for a total of 8 meetings over a 12-month period. We also have one online catch up over each of the school terms.
- Committee members play an important role in providing a voice for young people and support the Zoo to develop its programs to appeal to youth.
- Working collaboratively with Zoo staff and other young people, committee members enable the Zoo to achieve its mission to fight extinction, with a particular focus on empowering the next generation of conservationists.
