Youth Summit

Macedon Ranges Youth are inviting young people to attend the 2026 Youth Summit!

This is a unique opportunity for young people (ages 12-25) who are connected to the Macedon Ranges to share their ideas, experiences and hopes for the future. Bringing together local students, community‑based young people and specialist guest experts, the summit is an opportunity to explore big topics like mental health, transport, education, and others. Insights gathered on the day will help to shape future Youth programs, services and priorities within Council.

The event is taking place in Kyneton on 24 March 2026. Select the event box below for more information.
