Young people aged 12 to 24 who call our region home are encouraged to show their interest in joining Mildura Rural City Council's 2024 FReeZA Committee.

The Committee – which is a Victorian Government-funded initiative – provides members with a chance to lead, plan and stage events for young people in their community.

FReeZA Committee members will participate in a host of activities including planning and delivering events for young people, attending training workshops, promoting FReeZA activities and working cooperatively with other team members.

Being a member of the FReeZA Committee will provide opportunities to:

  • Develop communication, public speaking and conflict resolution skills
  • Grow leadership and advocacy skills
  • Gain confidence working in a team
  • Connect to likeminded young people and the broader community
  • Gain volunteering experience.

Councillor for Community Health and Wellbeing Troy Bailey encouraged young people to sign up and make a difference in their community.

"We're fortunate to have some really talented, enthusiastic young people in our region," Cr Bailey said.

"Joining our FReeZA Committee will open the way for a whole range of opportunities to pick up new skills, expand social networks and develop professionally and personally.

"If you're a young person looking for a challenge and a chance to grow, then this is the opportunity for you."
