The ultimate goal of this initiative is to create a more knowledgeable and interconnected generation of young citizens. By doing so, we prepare tomorrow’s leaders to wield their influence today, fostering positive change within our community.

ChangeMakers exists to build a more informed, confident, and connected generation of young citizens.

By investing in young people today, the City of Fremantle is helping shape the leaders, advocates, and decision-makers of tomorrow, while ensuring youth voices are heard right now.

We are seeking up to 10 young people who:

Are aged 18 to 30 years
Have a meaningful connection to Fremantle (for example, living, working, studying, or being actively involved in the community)
Are interested in leadership, advocacy or community participation
Can commit to attending weekly sessions over the program period

You do not need to live in Fremantle to be considered, and no previous leadership experience is required.

As a ChangeMaker, you will:

Learn how change really happens across local, state, and federal government
Build strategic leadership, advocacy, and communication skills
Gain insight into how City of Fremantle policies, plans, and projects are developed
Have direct input into City decision-making processes
Take part in consultation opportunities on issues you care about
Connect with a network of like-minded young people and experienced mentors

The ChangeMakers Program runs over a four-month period and includes an onboarding period followed by weekly sessions.

Participants can expect:

An onboarding week to introduce the program, expectations and key contacts
Weekly workshops focused on leadership, advocacy and engagement
Guest speakers with experience in government, community and social change
Practical learning on engaging with all three tiers of government
Ongoing mentorship throughout the program

Applicants are now closed for 2026.
