Membership

IS FREE!

Youthlaw is committed to being a participant and consumer driven organisation. Membership of Youthlaw is open to all young people, advocates and lawyers for young people, youth agencies and workers that support our objectives. The direct involvement of the membership is an important and valued aspect of the organisation, which adds weight to the policy positions, and public stances that Youthlaw articulates.

As a member, you can become involved as a volunteer or in management, or by providing input into our direction or the key policy issues we are working on. Or, you can just keep in touch with what we are doing through our quarterly e-newsletter. Members receive invitations to General Meetings, a copy of our Annual Report and invitations to special events.

Membership is free and you will receive our e-newsletter the lowdown.

To become a member Simply fill in our application form.

Volunteers

We welcome the assistance of volunteers at Youthlaw. Volunteers assist with our legal work as we have no paid admin staff. They also work on research and policy projects.

WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY RECRUITING NEW VOLUNTEERS.

WE WILL BE HAVING A VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT & TRAINING DRIVE IN MAY 2012

If you're interested in volunteering at Youthlaw fill in the application below and send it to us. The application form includes information on what to expect and opportunities.

We will let you know we have received your aplication but otherwise may not be in contact until we commence our recruitment drive.

Most commonly volunteers come in half a day a week for at least 6 to 12 months.

UNFORTUNATELY IN 2012 WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE ON ANY ADDITIONAL SCHOOL, TAFE AND UNI PLACEMENT, OR LEGAL CLINIC PLACEMENTS.

POLICY and RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS

From time to time we have social policy and research students come in and work on a campaign, policy development or lobbying. Please email Tiffany our policy officer on tiffany@youthlaw.asn.au with your interest, CV and length of internship.
