Astrid Bester (pictured) is the Youth Development Officer with the City of Greater Shepparton and has a key role in the creation and implementation of a new Climate Change Youth Leadership program.

Along with the municipalities of Benalla and Strathbogie, the city is working with the State Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning to breathe life into this new program.

The first step in the program is to create a Climate Change Youth Leadership Group of up 15 people.

Those eager to be a part of the program should visit the "Youth making change for climate change" page and submit their application, which according to Astrid can be nothing more than two or three lines as to why the applicant would like to be involved.
