If you are a young person who enjoys public speaking, meeting new people, helping your community and would like to represent the youth of Blacktown City then this is the program for you! 

The Youth Ambassador Program involves the selection of two young people to serve as Ambassadors of Blacktown City for a period of 12 months.

The ambassadors must be residents of Blacktown City and be aged between 15 to 18 years.

The two young people who are selected are given the opportunity to represent the youth of our City by way of public speaking at events such as Citizenship Ceremonies and Civic Receptions, the opportunity to meet high profile individuals at special events and the chance to attend a Local Government related conference.  The ambassadors also get to participate as members of both the Sister Cities and Youth Advisory committees. 

The program is a fun way to learn new skills and gain invaluable experience outside the schooling environment.  

For more details or to apply, visit Council's website.
