West Tamar Youth Mayor Program
Future Shaper
The West Tamar Youth Mayor Program
is for a year 7-9 student (students in year 6-8 apply for the following year) selected to represent the young people of the West Tamar municipality. They will provide a focus and a channel for young people’s views to be heard by those in Council.
The Youth Mayor can be influential in promoting the West Tamar Youth Strategy as they support shaping a positive future for local young people.
The 2023-2026 West Tamar Youth Strategy identified the goal of developing formidable young people with skills and confidence in our municipality. The West Tamar Youth Mayor role will recognise the importance of helping better represent young people in the West Tamar, by speaking on behalf of their needs and opportunities to publicly and effectively work towards empowering local young people.

Yuxuan See, who is in year 8 at Riverside High school, believes he can make a difference and positively impact our community.
"I wanted to be able to bring those perspectives together and make sure that the youth have a bigger say in what matters to them," Yuxuan said.
He said he was particularly inspired by the potential of young people around him and wanted to bring them together to achieve greater success.
"I want to help build an environment and a community where everyone can contribute with ideas and opinions so we can ensure everyone has a voice in what matters to them and feels valued. I also want a community where we can all inspire each other to take on new opportunities and goals.
"After all, teamwork is the fuel for success."
