WHO IS YACWA?
The Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia (YACWA) is the peak non- government youth organisation in Western Australia.
We operate primarily as a human rights organisation that seeks to address the exclusion of young people in a rapidly changing society.
Our vision for Western Australia is one that celebrates and engages young people in all aspects of the community. Our role is to strengthen the trust, cooperation, collaboration, professionalism and voice of the non-government youth service sector to better serve the young people of Western Australia.
YACWA aims to provide a united, independent and active advocate for the non-government youth sector and young people that is both supported and respected by the sector and the wider community. Focusing on young people’s varied needs at local, State and Federal Government level, YACWA works to engender and enhance positive community attitudes towards young people.
YACWA provides a voice and acts as a role model for the definition and demonstration of youth participation.
Our work is governed by four guiding principles of respect, equity, integrity and the celebration of diversity.
YACWA’s Fairground takes place every two years as an opportunity for the youth sector to network, share ideas and common experiences whilst focusing on statewide issues of importance to young people and the sector.
2014 will be the fourth Fairground conference and follows similar events in 2008, 2010 and 2012. The conference vision is for a youth sector event that is the most topical, relevant, results-orientated youth conference ever held in Western Australia.
YACWA’s Fairground conference will take place on July 10 and 11 of 2014 in Perth, Western Australia.
The conference theme is ‘Fairground’, and represents an opportunity to encourage social inclusion through the continued development of an even playing field for young people across of Western Australia.

that limits the opportunities and choices of at-risk and Aboriginal young people and to engage in healthy and productive lives o Homelessness, housing and home
