CEO Welcome
Welcome from the CEO
Welcome to Rural Youth Tasmania – a community where friendships are formed, skills are developed, and opportunities can take you further than you ever imagined.
For more than 75 years, Rural Youth Tasmania has been connecting young people from across the state, helping them build confidence, create lifelong friendships, and develop skills that support both their personal and professional journeys. Whether you're looking for adventure, community connection, leadership opportunities, or simply a great group of people to spend time with, there's a place for you here.
As a member, you'll gain access to a wide range of benefits, including training and development opportunities, leadership programs, volunteer experiences at Agfest, Tasmania’s Premier Field Days, and member discounts such as fuel savings and health insurance offers. These practical benefits are designed to help you make the most of your Rural Youth experience while supporting your everyday life.
From local club events and statewide competitions to community projects and major events, Rural Youth offers opportunities to challenge yourself, contribute to your community, and have a lot of fun along the way. Whether you choose to get involved occasionally or jump in with both feet, you'll discover that the more you engage, the more rewarding the experience becomes.
What makes Rural Youth truly special is our people. Every day I see members stepping outside their comfort zones, developing new skills, creating lifelong connections, and making a positive impact in their communities. Together, we're building a vibrant future for rural and regional Tasmania.
I encourage you to explore our website and discover the many opportunities waiting for you. Your next friendship, leadership opportunity, skill, adventure, or career connection could start right here.
If you have any questions, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us on (03) 6331 6154 or admin@ruralyouth.com.au.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Rural Youth family and seeing where your journey takes you.
