25.01.2022 NPY EC is recruiting! Empowered Communities is currently recruiting for an Anangu Engagement Officer with the NPY Emerging Leaders Program and we’re asking for your help with finding the right person for the job. NPY Emerging Leaders is a 12-month leadership program from for Anangu leaders aged 25-40 and aims to build a pathway for young leaders into leadership and governance roles across the region. We are looking for someone with the confidence to build relationships with e...merging leaders and talk up the program among Anangu leaders and communities, government and service providers. The Engagement Officer role is an Aboriginal-identified position and we encourage any interested Anangu to apply for the role. If this sounds like the right job for you or someone you know, find out more at https://www.npywc.org.au/jobs/

11.01.2022 Yesterday, members of the Kulintja Kutju Group participated in a great workshop to start developing a program logic for the Group- a strong story for what the Kulintja Kutju Group is about, what the Group needs to do its important work, and what change the Group wants to see for Anangu and Yarnangu communities and families. Thanks to Nyuringka, Robert and Raymond Scales for sharing your insights and to Sam Togni for being a fantastic facilitator. Looking forward to next week's workshop in Umuwa!

07.01.2022 Connecting with communities.... Over the last two weeks, Empowered Communities has been meeting with APY Community Councils to report back about the work we are doing in the region. Council members heard the latest news about the 2021 NPY Emerging Leaders Program, the valuable work that the Kulintja Kutju group has been doing assessing government-funded programs, and how EC is supporting Fregon Community Council to make sure that Anangu have real jobs during the Fregon School... redevelopment. Thanks to Amata, Indulkana, Kanpi and Pipalyatjara Councils for making time to meet with EC, and a big thank-you to Mark Campbell for talking to Amata Council about his experiences with the Emerging Leaders Program.

06.01.2022 On 20 August, the Kulintja Kutju Group met again to do the important work of reviewing government-funded programs and giving recommendations to government and service providers. This meeting, the group heard from Surf Life Saving SA about their Indigenous Surf & Sports Program in Mimili and Amata- which provides water safety, water skills and nationally recognised training. The Group appreciated hearing from SLSSA and thinks that the program is really important for Anangu- especially for tjitji tjuta. They should keep working with Anangu and Anangu organisations and have this program wherever there are pools on the lands for safety and employment opportunities. Thank you as well to Sam Osborne for doing a great job translating- wiru! Palyau until next time!

05.01.2022 Over the past 2 years, NPY Empowered Communities has brought together collective knowledge, best practice experiences, robust evidence and the brightest ideas to design and implement a Transition Support Initiative to improve the school to work outcomes for young people in the region. Through partnerships between schools, families and employers, this initiative focus' on work readiness and supported pathways to employment through school, curriculum, work exposure and opport...unities that connect education to local employment or training opportunities. With implementation underway since late 2019, we have been evaluating the process of co-design and collective action and are monitoring the projects' activities and outcomes. We have recently published an implementation report on the NPY School to Work Transition Support - you can check it out here: https://www.npyec.org.au//105789899/s_2_w_6_month_report_s

01.01.2022 Was very lucky to be out on the APY Lands last week with malpas Raymond Scales who is doing great work for EC member Purple House, and InaWantji Scales, who is starting a new role with Anangu organisation PYEC. Ray and Ina are also members of the Kulintja Kutju Group, which met this week in Pukatja to review a government-funded program. Looking forward to being back on the lands soon and learning from these leaders and working with EC member organisations to support Anangu-led governance and decision-making
