SAYF's 14 to 18 branch members serve on the Oversight Committee for Flinders University's Trauma Aware School Village project, a national multi-year research initiative exploring how trauma-informed approaches can be embedded across entire school communities rather than applied only at the individual student level. This is a sustained governance involvement from young people in a nationally significant piece of education research, and it is one of the clearest examples of what it looks like when a research institution genuinely embeds youth voice into how a project is run.

South Australian Youth Forum.

The South Australian Youth Forum acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Australia’s Lands, Waters, and Skies. 

 

Located on Kaurna Country, our Forum acknowledges the enduring connection Kaurna people share with the Adelaide region; and extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations across Australia. We pay our respects to all Elders, both past and present.

 

As we gather on unceded Sovereign Land, our Forum - comprised of Aboriginal youth and allies - aims to walk together in championing Indigenous voices. Our Forum maintains a firm commitment to truth-telling, listening, healing, and understanding; building a better ‘now’.
