Youth Advisory Groups
If you’re 13 – 17 years old
We are looking for passionate, thoughtful and curious young people aged 13–17 to join Teach Us Consent’s General Youth Advisory Group (YAG). As a member, you’ll help us create better resources, campaigns, social media content, and policies about consent and relationships. You’ll tell us what’s actually going on in your world, what you and your friends care about, and what adults sometimes get wrong.
In our regular meetings, you’ll get the opportunity to share your thoughts on:
- Consent and romantic relationships
- How you feel about social media, your favourite creators & tech
- Pressures we face to be the right kind of ‘man’ or ‘woman’
- What you wish you were learning about bodies, sex & each other
- What you think healthy, respectful and safe relationships look like
- Voices and topics you think are missing from relationship and consent education
We know there’s no single "young person's experience." That's why we're committed to building a group that reflects the diversity of young people across Australia and welcomes a wide range of voices, backgrounds, communities, and lived experiences.
If you’re 18 – 24 years old
We are looking for open, honest and curious young people aged 18 – 24 to join Teach Us Consent’s Porn Literacy Youth Advisory Group (YAG). Pornography is one of the main forms of sex ed, yet conversations about it are often awkward, oversimplified, or non-existent. We’re bringing together a group of young people to help change that, and shape an upcoming national campaign exploring how porn influences our understanding of sex, relationships, consent, gender and bodies.
In our regular meetings, you’ll get the chance to share your thoughts on:
- What a porn literacy education campaign should look like and include
- What conversations about pornography often miss when it comes to the diverse lives and identities of young people
- What you think young people think and feel about pornography
- Ways you think pornography could be shaping how we think about sex, relationships, bodies and gender
- What kind of sex education you wish you got during & after school
- The social media and digital platforms you love using, and your favourite creators
Pornography is part of many young people's lives, but its impacts, meanings and influences can look very different from person to person. We're committed to building a group that reflects the diversity of young people across Australia and welcomes a wide range of voices, backgrounds, communities and lived experiences.
