About the Youth Impact Council:
The George Town Youth Impact Council is made up of individuals aged 12-25 that live or attend school in the George Town municipality and that have a heart to help shape a positive future for all young people in the community. The Youth Impact Council is a partnership between George Town Council and the Future Impact Group and is facilitated by the Our Futures Projec
t Officer. This project is funded jointly between the Tasmanian Community Fund and George Town Council. They are passionate about representing young people about issues, concerns and opportunities that can be generated at a local government level, whilst having a finger on the pulse of state and national influences. The team meet on Wednesday afternoons with a mix of formal and informal meetings scheduled throughout the year. Interested youth can express their interest to join the Youth Impact Council at https://futureimpactgroup.org.au/projects/our-futures/
About our logo:
Our logo is designed to strike a balance between simplicity and visual intrigue. It captures a sense of excitement and boldness while remaining accessible. The elements within the logo are thoughtfully chosen to represent the diverse voices of George Town, particularly the youth, and to embody the core values of the Youth Impact Council. The speech bubbles incorporated into the logo symbolise the collective voices of George Town, emphasising the inclusive nature of the Youth Impact Council. These bubbles embody the vibrant exchange of ideas and opinions that shape our community. Each graphic within the logo reflects a distinct value of the Youth Impact Council's brand. The logo exudes a sense of youthfulness and vibrancy, aligning with the energetic spirit of our organisation. House Rules
