Real youth participation is about empowerment, purposeful engagement and inclusiveness. The volunteer program is a platform to engage young people to assist with the design, development and delivery of The Burbs Festival.

20.01.2022 THE BURBS FESTIVAL || The Burbs Festival is Blacktown's celebration for National Youth Week.

The event was held at Blacktown Showground attracting over 800 people with two live music stages, rides, sports, food and information stalls. The festival has continued each year with BYSA being a lead agency. Were you part of a Burbs Festival?

Do you have a story to tell about how and why BYSA was established? Send us a PM, we would love to hear from you!

11.01.2022 #TBT "Unexpected" was one of BYSA's first music video productions. BYSA engaged a group of young people to write, record, direct, film, act and produce in a video that aims to start discussion around safer sex. BYSA productions are one of the ways BYSA uses creative media to raise awareness about an issue relevant to young people. Did you have a part in this video?
