Rydges, South Bank (Brisbane)
Each year, as part of the Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP), approximately 250 students and teachers come together to network and access leadership development opportunities and experiences. This activity happens at an event called The Gathering.
The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) offers scholarships and leadership opportunities to young Indigenous Australians.
The Program gives Indigenous young people the opportunity to study at high performing secondary schools or universities and benefit from practical leadership experiences, personal development and mentoring.
IYLP is administered by the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) on behalf of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
