About YO Bendigo

YO Bendigo is a fun, lively and safe space for young people.

Everything that YO Bendigo is and does comes from young people in our community. We work to connect Greater Bendigo’s young people to opportunities and empower them to achieve the goals they set out to achieve.

It’s because of young people that we have The Youth Council, which provides advice to the City of Greater Bendigo Council on plans, strategies, and projects as well as advocating on issues that directly impact young people.

It’s because of young people that we have YO Events, a team that loves creating fun live music and entertainment events across Greater Bendigo. They learn about all areas of event production and produce professional-level events.

It’s because of young people that we have YO Media which produces the youth publication Ambedo Magazine and Ambedo Blog, made by young people for young people. It covers issues that young people are dealing with in our community and empowers them to have their say by being part of the editorial team, or by submitting art and articles for publication.

YO Bendigo has helped young people connect to the community, explore their identity, break into the music industry, find their creative passions, and help make a difference in Greater Bendigo.
