BACKGROUND of YLTW

OzGREEN piloted YOUth LEADing Australia (YLA) in 7 locations in 2009 with 500 participants.

Participants say the most significant outcomes are:

BACKGROUND of YLTW

OzGREEN piloted YOUth LEADing Australia (YLA) in 7 locations in 2009 with 500 participants. In 2010 it grew into Youth Leading the World (YLTW) in collaboration with over 100 local and regional organisations - involving 1400 participants from 18 regions (13 in Australia and 5 international) and attracting over 60,000 post views on facebook.

BACKGROUND of YLTW

OzGREEN piloted YOUth LEADing Australia (YLA) in 7 locations in 2009 with 500 participants.
