If you live, study, work or play in the City of Kalamunda, are aged 11- 17 and are passionate about making a difference to your community, then we want you to join the team.

Have you just turned 18 and looking for some opportunities to get involved in the community, bolster your resume or find your passions?

Get in touch to join our Youth Action Kalamunda 18+ Crew where we'll email you opportunities to upskill, provide opportunities for you to volunteer along side the Youth Services Team at City of Kalamunda Community Events as well as meet the current YAK Crew to impart your own wisdom onto our young leaders!  To join the mailing list or to register your expression of interest via youth@kalamunda.wa.gov.au.  

We have expanded! 

The City has expanded with a YAK branch just for Primary School Students hosted at Woodlupine Primary School. We are looking for members for our new group!
Register your interest.

As a YAK member, you will get the opportunity to learn new skills, be inspired, share ideas and develop creative solutions to community issues - all whilst having a sweet time!

The YAK meets for one hour after school various dates during the school term. Each meeting we will learn a new skill that is relevant to project planning, ranging from budgeting skill to how to design flyers and promotional materials. The YAK team will work towards developing and facilitating an awesome Youth Week WA project in April 2023 and more! Please keep in mind we have young people of all ages, abilities, passions and skills in the YAK. This means that you can get involved as much or as little as you like, and work to your skill sets and interests. As a member you would get to choose whether you would attend either meeting or both.

The YAK meetings take place on the:
