The Gold Coast is a vibrant and growing community, and the voice of its youth plays a crucial role in shaping its future. Being a voice for the youth on the Gold Coast means advocating for their needs, ideas, and aspirations while providing platforms to ensure their perspectives are heard. From enhancing access to education and job opportunities to fostering inclusive spaces for creativity, wellbeing, and innovation, young people are at the heart of building a thriving and resilient community. It’s about empowering the next generation to take charge, contribute meaningfully, and make a lasting impact on the Gold Coast’s culture, economy, and environment.

is only with the support of the community that Guide Dogs can continue to give Queenslanders with low vision or blindness the opportunity for freedom and independence. That is why I have chosen to put my PAW UP and be a Youth Ambassador!
