The Alannah & Madeline Foundation is launching a new Youth Engagement Program. This initiative will ensure that young people’s voices, experiences and ideas directly influence the work of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation and Dolly’s Dream.
The program will empower young people to champion their right to live free from violence and trauma. It will provide a platform supporting them to positively shape the systems that affect them wherever they live, learn and play.
Program participants will be advisors, advocates, collaborators and creators, contributing to the Foundation's projects and partnering with others in meaningful ways.

What will participants do?
Develop new skills
Participants will engage with a group of other passionate young people across the country in tailored, interactive online sessions every two months.
They will learn and develop skills from field experts in the Foundation’s work, including digital-citizenship education, advocacy, media, fundraising and trauma-informed practice.
Put skills into practice
In between sessions, participants will have opportunities to put their newfound skills and knowledge into practice by contributing to real projects led by the Foundation’s field experts.
Stay connected
At the completion of the formal program, participants will be able to stay involved with the Foundation through our Alumni Network. As part of this network, participants will be our first point of call for opportunities and advice.
Who is eligible?
We are looking for young people aged 16-25 from across Australia. The only qualifications required for this program are an interest in the safety of children and young people, availability to attend virtual sessions every two months, and eagerness to learn about and contribute to the Foundation’s work.
