The Yuwa Nyinda Youth Strategy is a community-driven process that brings together all young people (Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal) who call the Macleay Valley home, working collectively to create systemic change that improves their quality of life.

Led by Learning the Macleay, Dhina Durriti Aboriginal Corporation, and Connected Beginnings, the initiative seeks to elevate youth voice, strengthen cultural identity, and support young people to influence the decisions that shape their learning, wellbeing, and futures.

To continue building this pathway for youth leadership and systems change, two spaces have been created under the umbrella of the YNYS for young people to connect, share, lead, and imagine new solutions: the Dream Academy and the Youth Summit.
