Central Goldfields Shire Council is calling for nominations of local young people who have made positive contributions to the community.
The nominations are part of Youth Fest 2022 — a month-long event held during September highlighting the contributions and achievements of young people in Victoria.
Nominees can be aged between 10 to 25 years who have made a positive contribution to the Central Goldfields community, whether it be helping out at weekend sport, achievements at school or work, volunteer contributions, or any other community contribution that would otherwise go unrecognised.
Central Goldfields Shire councillor Wayne Sproull said young people contribute to the local community in many positive ways.
“It’s important that we shine a light on the great ways our young people are giving back to our community as this is often not in the form of official volunteering and can sometimes get overlooked,” he said.
“It’s great we’re able to celebrate Youth Fest 2022 here in Maryborough and I encourage everyone to nominate someone they know who is doing something that deserves recognition.
“The last few years have been challenging for young people so it will be wonderful to get everyone together for a big celebration on October 28.”
Every young person nominated will be profiled, with all nominees to be invited to a special recognition celebration event October 28 at Station Domain.
To nominate a young person, complete the online nomination form at www.engage.cgoldshire.vic.gov.au/youthfest
To submit a hard copy form, email council’s Youth Services team at youth@cgoldshire.vic.gov.au or visit council’s Customer Service Centre, 22 Nolan Street, Maryborough for a hard copy which can be mailed to the Youth Services team at PO BOX 194, Maryborough, 3465.
Nominations close Wednesday, October 26.
