Deputy Youth Mayor Alyssa Beaton

(Pronouns: She/Her)

2025 kicks off 17-year-old Alyssa's second year as a Greater Bendigo Youth Councillor. After a first year full of growth, friendship and enlightenment, Alyssa felt empowered to step up to the role of Deputy Youth Mayor, bringing with her a hope to encourage and uplift others the way her fellow Youth Councillors have for her.

Alyssa likes to spend her time training and competing with the Eaglehawk Athletics Club and hopes all young people are granted the opportunity to experience a supportive environment such as the one she found at the track. 

Wishing for a world where people are open and comfortable sharing feelings, challenges, and imperfections, Alyssa is grateful for every chance to create a positive impact on the world around her.
