Empowering Yolŋu Youth, Led by Community
The East Arnhem Land Youth Model Program is a unique, community-led venture transforming youth development in East Arnhem Land. Backed by ALPA, the NT Government, and NIAA, the model operates in Gapuwiyak, Galiwin’ku, Ramingining, and Milingimbi and puts decision-making back in the hands of Yolŋu leaders.

This isn’t just a youth program - it’s an initiative to build local capacity and empower clans to shape the future. Local leadership groups meet regularly to design and fund activities that help young people grow up strong, connected, and proud.
