Heywire Youth Innovation Grants

As part of the annual Heywire program, young regional Australians developed five exciting ideas to champion positive change. 

This grants program helps communities take action on the ideas generated by young Australians who attend the annual Heywire Regional Youth Summit. Grants are available for communities to adopt, adapt and act on one of the following ideas from Heywire 2021:

• Discover Your Future: How might we connect young people to their future pathways?
• Open Field Fest: How might we create a fun and safe community event that includes all ages?
• Support Squad: How might we create a youth-led peer support network?
• The Story Link Project: How might we use stories to play our part in ending discrimination?
• Contribute to the Change: How might we have conversations about our mental health that actually matter?

Projects must be undertaken between November 2021 to December 2022, take place in regional Australia and address a local issue.
