About 35 Cane herma youngsters are invited to take part in a national youth involvement program run by the ACT Recreation Branch in partnership with The Canberra Times. Project director Mr Mike Woods says participants must be 16 or older and the program aims to involve as many youths as possible. Unsuccessful applicants will plan and assess a community project of their choice under his guidance. Meetings begin mid December to outline projects followed by a short training camp. Participants receive funding from an $8,800 budget and Woods will oversee evaluation and provide support and progress updates.
