The Western Bulldogs Community Foundation’s Nallei-Jerring (join and unite) Koori Youth Leadership Project nominations have opened for 2017.
The Western Bulldogs’ Nallei-Jerring Koori Youth Leadership Project aims to support Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander young people, by providing opportunities through the Western Bulldogs to encourage leadership within the local Aboriginal community.
The Western Bulldogs Football Club is used as a vehicle to inspire, educate and encourage Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander young people to become future leaders in the West Metro Aboriginal community. The young people are provided with an exciting range of life, cultural and sport experiences in which to learn and develop from.
Through practical and theory based activities, the program aims to provide young people with cultural knowledge, leadership, teamwork, resilience and communication skills while helping them build support networks and connection to their community.
The program is open to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander males and females aged between 12-16 years who live within the local government areas of:
- Brimbank

We are looking for self-motivated Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait islander young people with the potential to become future leaders in their community. You do not need to be athletic or even play sport to be considered.
