The Youth Voices Leadership Team (YVLT) is a diverse collection of young leaders in agriculture selected from our Young Farming Champions (YFC) alumni.
Together, they identify gaps and opportunities to move the (YFC & YVLT) programs forward including suggesting program enhancements, provide recommendations and proposals to the board, develop action plans and implement and measure results.
The team has identified the values which will form the foundation for their decision-making processes and guide them in interactions with each other, their peers, collaborating partners and the community.

A primary school program using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a cache of community experts to assist students on a journey of sustainable living, while building collaborative partnerships with others in the community such as government, business and industry.
Young Farming Champions
Young people working in the agriculture sector are trained, mentored and given skills under the guidance of some of Australia’s top media, consulting and social licence experts. These young people then have the confidence to share their stories with schools, with community, with industry and with government.
Youth Voices Leadership Team
An alumni of Young Farming Champions learning from their elders and from each other. Together they explore issues affecting leadership in agriculture such as its volunteering nature and how to balance leadership with education and family commitments. They then use their insights to support young agricultural professionals and mentor the next generation.
