Join the Movement
Membership at YACWA is a strong and resounding demonstration of your organisation’s commitment to social justice, human rights, and of your genuine desire to ensure young people are heard and empowered to influence society. Join us today!
Over 40 years ago, a small but dedicated group of youth workers banded together to form a united front called the Youth Affairs Council of WA. They were trouble-makers, firebrands and agitators, hell-bent on championing the rights of young people in our state and holding our institutions to account. That same incendiary spirit runs through all of the work YACWA does today. By becoming a member, you’ll be lending your name to a movement more than four decades in the making. Your support enables us to speak truth to power, hold government accountable and fight for more just, fair and equitable society for young Western Australians.
