Why Youth Crew Matters
Youth Crew ensures young people have a genuine voice in the decisions, events, and projects that affect them.
Members work alongside schools, community groups, service providers, local businesses, and Firefly staff to identify opportunities, solve problems, and create positive outcomes for young people across the Bay and Basin.
By listening to young people and investing in their leadership, we’re building a stronger, more connected community for everyone.
