Anglicare Victoria is seeking Young Steering Committee members to support the strategic direction of the Keep in Touch (KiT) project. This project focusses on improving the mental health and wellbeing of young people (12 – 25 years) across the Loddon Area. The project operates out of the Anglicare Victoria Bendigo office.

The KiT Steering Committee adopts a co-design approach to ensure that young people remain at the centre of this project and, in turn, young people directly inform the development, implementation and evaluation of the project. Furthermore the steering committee is chaired by a young person.

The KiT project aims to support and empower young people across the Loddon Area to maintain good mental health and wellbeing through three key components:

• Outreach Van
• Mobile Application
• Network of Youth Champions

In this role you will you provide strategic leadership and oversight of the KiT project. You will attend the KiT Steering Committee meeting bi-monthly to directly inform the development, implementation and evaluation of the KiT project. 

In return for your input you will receive:

• Training in mental health, governance, community engagement and public speaking.
• Develop a range of skills including working in groups and representing the needs your peers.
• Meet other young people passionate about youth mental health and wellbeing.

If you are committed to supporting young people and want to make a positive contribution to youth mental health, this is the opportunity for you.
