Youth Reference Group

The Youth Reference Group is a practical demonstration of YACVic's commitment to the participation of young people in the structures, processes, debates and environments that shape their lives. It exists to provide a forum for young people to develop proposals, campaigns and projects in relation to YACVic's overall strategic direction. This group also provides advice to the Board and the secretariat about YACVic's youth participation and consultation processes.

Marginalised Young People, Surveillance and Public Space

YACVic and the School of Political and Social Inquiry, Monash University were very pleased to have Dr. Helen Szoke, (Commissioner, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission) launch a new research report ‘Marginalised Young People, Surveillance and Public Space’ on the 1st of September, 2010. The report examines young people’s perceptions of surveillance and security in inner city Melbourne.
In her speech, Dr Szoke commented:"When I read the report, I was struck by how sophisticated the analysis is, which is in effect what we need when we are dealing with complex issues, where we are trying to address systemic problems with linear instruments."
