The Youth Network

The MYQ Youth Network brings together multicultural young people (aged 18-30) from across Queensland to connect, collaborate and create change.

Through the network, young people are supported to strengthen their leadership, share their perspectives, and influence the decisions that shape their lives and communities. MYQ works with government and the community sector to ensure these voices are reflected in policy, programs and services.

Our vision is a socially cohesive community where multicultural young people can equitably realise their goals across social, cultural, economic and civic life.

We work towards this by:

• Providing advice to government, peak bodies and service providers to strengthen policy and service responses
• Elevating the voices, experiences and contributions of multicultural young people, including those in regional and rural communities
• Supporting organisations to build more inclusive and culturally responsive services

Being part of the MYQ Youth Network is an opportunity to build your leadership and advocacy skills while contributing to meaningful change.

As a member, you can:

• Contribute to conversations that shape policies and programs
• Connect with other young people from diverse backgrounds
