I am here to work with community members, groups, and organizations,
and to help them in any way I can:
- work
with individuals/groups/organizations to help them identify
their needs, gain access to resources, and meet their needs
- link
community groups so they can share resources and help each other
- be
an advocate for the community
- plan
community activities, such as Preschool Mornings, Summer Athletics,
Treasure Hunt etc
- facilitate
the Devonport Youth Forum and support ongoing youth initiatives
such as Devonstock.

Youth Forum
Any High School student is welcome at these monthly meetings.
They are a place where young people can share views and ideas.
We usually meet at 3 Victoria Rd, above the i-site centre. We
serve pizza and soft drinks. Members of the Youth Forum have initiated
some of our community events, such as Devonstock.
Community
Network Meetings
Our quarterly Community Network Meetings are a great opportunity
for representatives from community groups, schools, preschools,
businesses, sport clubs, etc. to get together and share information
with each other. Meetings are held at the Devonport library.
