CEO MESSAGE
Well, another autumn has come and gone, as has the winter solstice. I, for one, am looking forward to longer daylight hours.
|
YFCC has kept busy facilitating a number of Youth Week and Families Week events in Devonport and Burnie – please read more about these below. Planning is also well underway for the Inspiring Youth Awards to be held in October this year.
|
During this month we were also very fortunate to be invited to be part of a highly positive youth engagement evening with NW Thunder. Several of our young people got to experience a collective training session with the Thunder team (including a shoot out!), a chat with the coach, Nick Haywood, about the positive influences of working as a team, and a shared meal. We are truly grateful to NW Thunder for this magnificent opportunity - a terrific way to create linkages in our community.
|
During June / early July we will be saying farewell to Julie Richardson and Glenn Foster who are moving into retirement (leaving some of us more senior staff a little jealous!). Both Julie and Glenn have worked in the community sector for many years and will be sorely missed, however, they leave with our best wishes for a happy and healthy journey ahead.

Due to Covid-19 hitting Tasmania last year during the Tasmanian Youth Week, we had to postpone our Youth Week event in Devonport until December; we found that the layout of this worked extremely well. Our layout for the events in 2021 were a replica of this layout from the event in December 2020.
