What is South Perth Youth Network?

The South Perth Youth Network (SPYN), are a group of committed young people who helped to create and now deliver actions from the City’s Inaugural Youth Plan.

Each year SPYN help to organise local activities like Youth Week and participate in volunteering opportunities including tree planting days. Last year they helped to develop and plan the City’s first Neon Youth Festival; an inclusive event that celebrated young people and featuring live music from local artists, food trucks and a silent disco.
