June 2022 consultation:
Cumberland City is home to present and future young leaders with a passion for a diverse and inclusive community, offering access to opportunities and services for all, with welcoming places enriched with our cultural heritage.
The Cumberland City Youth Strategy 2022-2026 is a collective plan to make Cumberland a place where all young people can feel included, connected, healthy and can foster resilience and independence. The Cumberland City Youth Strategy 2022-2026 provides a clear direction for Council and local youth organisations over the next four years to support better outcomes for young people and make Cumberland City a vibrant place of opportunity where all young people are supported to learn, be safe, belong, work and connect.
The Youth Strategy sets the direction for Council’s own facility and capacity building of youth services and programming to support young people into the future. This direction is provided through the development of key themes, strategies and actions outlined in the Strategy. An important focus in the development of the Strategy has been ensuring that Council is collaboratively planning for the growing and changing needs, interests and aspirations of young people in Cumberland City.
What are the key themes for Young People?
Young people and services who work with young people in Cumberland have identified the following four themes:
- Access and inclusion
- Connectedness and identity
- Wellbeing and resilience
- Pathways and independence
