Local Youth Expos were held in July and August this year. The first one was held in Burnie on 29th of July and the second one in Devonport on 1st August. Between both expos we had approximately 350 – 400 grade 9 students from Government & non-Government schools right across the coast.

We had 12 different organisations hosting stalls to promote services and opportunities to young people.

Schools were also invited to submit questions on behalf of their students, which were then answered by a panel of health & community service workers. The questions were broad & insightful, including subjects such as youth homelessness, mental health and questions about how to get involved with their local communities.
