Youth Rep Plugged In

Here, the Youth Representative will post articles about their experiences throughout the Program! From reflections on the Listening Tour, to their time in New York and the writing process of their Report, there is so much more to share than Instagram caption word limits allow!

Rep Team Online

This section of REP NET will explore key aspects of our Youth Rep Reports and shedding light on the biggest issues facing young Aussies. Articles here are written by our young volunteers, both those who work on the Youth Rep Program and those from other areas of UN Youth Australia! 

YouthNet

This section is a space for young people like you! We feature submissions created by young Aussies, focused on the problems in their communities and their aspirations. We created this space for young people to explore the issues most important to them in their own words.
