What is the Young Influencer Network?

The Network is a diverse group of young people in the ACT who help us in our work. When you are part of the Network:

  • We will ask for your opinion about issues we are working on.
  • You can respond by email, or you can upload your ideas on the Young Thinker Forum as a video, voice message, artwork or poem.
  • You choose what issues you want to have a say on and ignore the rest.
  • You can also suggest topics for us to work on.
  • You can also create social media posts for us, to raise awareness of issues you care about! Find out more about being on our Content Crew here.

  • Tell the government what needs to be done to make the ACT better for kids, teens and young people.
  • Influence what issues we work on and decisions we make.

  • Tell people what you said without your permission.
