Are you a young person in the Bay & Basin area who wants to make a real difference? Firefly Bay & Basin is launching an exciting new initiative—the Bay & Basin Youth Crew—and we’re looking for passionate young leaders to join us in shaping the future of our community.
Why the Youth Crew?
After speaking with students from Vincentia High School, community groups, and local organisations, one thing became clear: young people want a bigger say in decisions that affect them. The Bay & Basin Youth Crew is your chance to share ideas, provide input, and take action on projects that impact your life and the community around you.
Who Can Join?
We’re looking for 12 young people aged 11-18 in 2025 to step up as local changemakers. Whether you’re creative, sporty, a deep thinker, or just curious about making a difference, this is your chance to be part of something meaningful.
You don’t have to be the loudest or most confident person in the room—just someone who cares about the community and wants to get involved. This opportunity is open to everyone, no matter your background, experience, or abilities.
What’s in It for You?
Being part of the Youth Crew comes with some awesome perks:
- Get paid for attending Crew catch-ups
- Develop leadership skills through exclusive workshops
- Enjoy free food at every meeting (yum!)
- Access mentoring and mental health first aid training
- Connect with like-minded young people and community organisations
“This initiative comes from our Youth Collective workshops, where students and community groups highlighted the need for a structured way for young people to engage with decision-makers,” says Natasha Busbridge, Community Engagement Coordinator at Firefly. “We know that young people in this area have incredible ideas and fresh perspectives. The Crew is about making sure they’re heard and making an impact.”
