QUEENSLAND ROVERS

Rovers are a self governing, self determining part of Scouting for young people between the ages of 17 1/2 and 26. The Rover program in Queensland is supported by the Queensland Branch Rover Exectuive (QBRE). QBRE is responsible for organising state activities, maintaining Rovering standards and supporting the crews and Rovers throughout Queensland.
 
2012 Applications for the 2012 Indigenous Youth Leadership Program are now open!

 

The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program is an exciting opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people to participate in a program that focuses on developing leadership skills and provides an introduction to Queensland's democratic processes.

The program is hosted in Brisbane by the Department of Communities and is supported through a partnership with Xstrata Coal Queensland Pty Ltd.

In an interactive learning environment, participants will have the opportunity to widen their horizons and ambitions, and to develop their potential as young leaders. The program provides:

· intensive leadership workshops — facilitated by Indigenous community leaders

· mentoring and networking opportunities — participants can network with high-profile politicians, respected Indigenous elders and community leaders, and government representatives

· mock legislative assembly experience — participants become members of parliament for a day. During workshops, each participant develops a debate for, or against, a proposed Bill. Participants then convene a mock legislative assembly session called the Indigenous Youth Parliament

· career development day - providing participants with links to employment opportunities through the Australian Employment Covenant and Project 2800.

Applications can be submitted online at http://www.reconciliation.qld.gov.au/reconciliation/forums-and-awards/indigenous-youth-leadership-program-2012 or in writing.

Applications close Friday 27 April 2012.

Who can apply?

The program is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders aged 18 to 25.

Where and when will the program be held?

The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program is a six day residential program which will be held in Brisbane from 24 to 29 June 2012. Travel, meals and accommodation will be provided for selected participants.

Please contact the Indigenous Youth Leadership Program Coordinator on 3008 8634 or Toll Free 1300 555 954 to request a copy of the written application form.
