Deadline: 29-Oct-21
The Youth Central is seeking applications for FReeZA Grants Program to offer three-year funding for community organisations and local governments to deliver safe, youth-friendly events for young Victorians aged 12 to 25.
Through initiatives such as FReeZA, young people take a central role in staging events that not only showcase their skills and talents, but also celebrate and recognise the important contribution they make to the cultural life of the local community.
The FReeZA program is based on a youth participation model where young people lead the planning, development and delivery of music, cultural and recreational events in their local community. FReeZA events are diverse and reflect the needs and interests of young people in their local area. Beyond staging events that reflect the local youth culture, the program also provides important performance opportunities for local musicians and young emerging artists.
