The Shire of Northam has a significantly higher population of young people in comparison to any other community in the Wheatbelt. The young people in Northam, as with the general population, have widely differing interests, aspirations, barriers and needs.
Organised programs and activities are seen as invaluable in providing an outlet for the young people, as well as providing a structured and controlled environment for participants to build a rapport with other young people.
There are many opportunities for young people to get involved in programs, activities and Clubs in the Shire of Northam.
As an initiative of the Shire of Northam Community Safety Committee, a list of youth engagement activities that are available in the Shire of Northam has been developed.
