Expressions of Interest Volunteers – Young Person's Advisory Group headspace Lismore & Ballina
headspace Lismore and Ballina involve young people in many aspects of decision-making at our centres, so young people's voices stay front and centre.
Our Young Person's Advisory Group (YPAG) brings together passionate volunteers aged 12–25 who help ensure new headspace initiatives make a positive difference in the lives of young people.
