In January, the Brighton Youth Action Group (BYAG) took a road trip to Launceston to join the Clarence City Council Youth Network Advisory Group (YNAG) for the day.

YNAG were in Launceston for their yearly planning camp and invited BYAG to take part as a Youth Mentoring Youth day. YNAG shared their knowledge on strategic planning, member structure, planning, and ways of connecting with community. BYAG had the opportunity to share their successes of the year and how these were accomplished with collective community support.

From the day’s conversations, YNAG and BYAG have discovered they have similar community goals in relation to transport and community engagement. Moving forward BYAG and YNAG will be working collectively on the community goal of improving transport access over the next year. We look forward to seeing the collaboration grow in 2024.
