Frankston Youth Services Youth Advisory Group (NexGen) brings young people together to share their experiences and co-design solutions to programs and events for young people in the Frankston Area.
Our NexGen members will provide Frankston Youth Services with invaluable insight to help us improve services for all local Young People.
The Youth Advisory Group gives young people a platform to share their views and have their voices heard! In addition, it provides a forum that allows young people to develop their confidence, social connections, and leadership skills.
