The Rural Youth Ambassador program is a specific program focused on Year

the aspirations of young people in rural and remote communities.
As Rural Youth Ambassadors, Hayden and Jessica will join other young
people from across rural South Australia in a range of forums and discussions
exploring key areas of interest to rural life and education. Ambassadors
will have the chance to meet with Government Ministers, senior education BEFORE AFTER
leaders and other key stakeholders throughout the year. Jessica and Hayden
are currently in Adelaide at the first of the forums, and we look forward to
hearing more about the program as the year progresses.
This recognition of Amey, Hayden and Jessica is well deserved, and
