Youth Volunteering for Nature Fund - closes 4 November

Parks Victoria, in partnership with DELWP, has launched its first Youth Volunteering for Nature Fund.

The fund comes as part of Victoria’s Great Outdoors Program which seeks to get more Victorians, from all walks of life outdoors enjoying nature.

The Youth Volunteering for Nature Fund is looking to empower young people aged 18 to 29 to create innovative answers to challenges facing Victoria’s environment and increase participation in environmental volunteering by young Victorians.

For more information and to apply, please visit Parks Victoria.

Engage! for youth-led events and programs - closes 29 October

Engage! offers grants between $135,000 and $180,000 over three years for community organisations and local governments to deliver activities and projects that meet young Victorians’ aspirations and goals.

Activities may include leading a project, building life skills, connecting with peers, or showcasing young people’s skills and talents within the local community and could include projects with an environmental outcome.

The guidelines and more information is available at Youth Central.
