activities through appropriate and adequate training and motivation; 6
 c) By providing opportunities for continuous upgrading of vocational
knowledge and skills for gainful employment;
 d) By developing a team spirit for working together for sustainable social
and economic growth
 Community activities
 Community activity is part of ‘civic responsibility’. It’s about doing things
in our community because we want to or feel we should, rather than
because we have to by law.
 You can take civic responsibility and be active in your community by:
 joining a Surf Life Saving Club, a scouting group or a local environmental
or clean-up group
 helping with a primary school play, or coordinating or coaching junior
sport
 setting up an arts space for the community or getting involved in youth
radio
 being part of a youth advisory group through the local council
 promoting causes – for example, refugee rights, bushfire recovery and
charities.
 Your child might be interested in online civic or community activities – for
example, an online campaign to save a local area of parkland. Online
community involvement can motivate teenagers to get involved in face-
to-face community activities.
