Redlands Coast Youth – support and activities
Redlands Coast Young Citizen’s Program
The Redlands Coast Young Citizen’s Program seeks to empower students through partnerships with secondary schools, fostering civic participation and engagement on local issues that impact their lives. Young people can play an integral part in shaping the community by attending a series of free workshops facilitated by Redland City Council.
The Civics and Citizenship of the Humanities and Social Sciences learning area (QCAA) has been designed for students in years 7-10. Year 10 students have been identified as the appropriate age for these workshops due to the potential pathways that students may elect in years 11 and 12.
If your school is interested in participating, please complete this quick survey on proposed options for 2026 Redlands Coast Young Citizen's Program 2026.

Council recognises that young people make a significant contribution to the social, economic and cultural life of our community. Council is committed to the safe places and spaces in the city that accommodate the needs of young people and advocates for young people in the Redlands to learn, earn, and participate in the community.
Activate Redlands Coast Youth Week is an outcome of the Redlands Coast Young People’s Action Plan 2024–2027(PDF, 2MB).
