YACVic at a glance

The Youth Affairs Council of Victoria Inc. (YACVic) is the peak body and leading policy advocate on young people's issues in Victoria.

Our vision is for a Victorian community that values and provides opportunity, participation, justice and equity for all young people.

At YACVic we:

• Listen to the needs of young people, workers with young people and organisations that provide direct services to young people.
• Provide advice to the government and other institutions about these needs.
• Analyse and develop policy through consultation with our members.
• Provide our members with information through our regular printed newsletter YIKES! our email announcement list and our website.

YACVic is governed by a volunteer board and managed by a paid secretariat. We are a not-for-profit organisation and our core funding comes from the Victorian Government's Office for Youth.
