This gap was made clear by how service organisations and the community responded to the lockdown of the 9 towers. YAF puts young people at the front and centre of identifying areas of need, and designing and implementing responses. Young people hold the solutions our aim is for them to hold the power. In working to achieve our aim of youth led and controlled community services we have developed programs to empower young people, such as the Homework Club and YAF Schools Program, we have created and utilised opportunities to influence decision making of established community organisations and peak bodies, such as the Richmond Covid response. YAF works differently to other community organisations because a different approach is needed. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603f1ab59b540a2042b0ff85/t/6077aeec175d4668af78602c/1618456486818/DSC03087.jpg About UN goals: 4: Quality education 8: decent work and economic growth 10: reduce inequality People Mubarek Imam Joseph Lorback Young assets Board https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603f1ab59b540a2042b0ff85/t/6077b0a1afd1c40974fbb1b5/1618456933758/DSC03119.jpg About - YOUNG PEOPLE IN VICTORIA ARE INSPIRED AND EQUIPPED TO CREATE HEALTHY, SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITIES.

While the traditional process of consulting young people utilises a top-down approach, this strategy provided an opportunity for young people to develop a vision in relation to issues and challenges being faced in their community in cooperation with the key decision-makers. As such, the potential to improve upon key areas and services in the City of Yarra can be actioned by the recommendations proposed by the young people.
