UNSW’s Indigenous Youth Leaders Program gives Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander high school students a unique opportunity to gain cultural leadership skills and experience life as a UNSW student.
Throughout a week-long residential program, you'll connect with various UNSW faculties and schools in a culturally enriching and safe space. The program is designed to provide you with the skills and opportunities to address real-life scenarios that impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities today, engaging with hands-on workshops and problem-solving activities.
