Multicultural Youth Advocacy Network
2Connect Youth & Community is a founding member and active in both the Multicultural Youth Affairs Network (MYAN) NSW and Multicultural Advocacy Network Australia.
MYAN NSW is the first state-wide multicultural youth specialist organisation that engages, connects and builds capacity of the youth settlement and multicultural sectors to effectively meet the needs of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
MYAN Australia is the national peak body on multicultural youth issues and Australia’s only national voice representing the needs and interests of young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. It has a network of representatives in each of Australia’s states and territories to facilitate a national approach to youth settlement.
2Connect has been active on the committees which operate these organisations, along with other key players across the country. In this way, our experience with local issues for migrant and refugee young people are brought to the table both at at State and National level.
