Youth Programs

​FReeZA (Loddon, Gannawarra)
The Victorian Government’s FReeZA program is a youth development program that gives opportunities for young Victorians aged 12-25 across metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria to enjoy live music, and cultural, recreational and artistic events that are drug, alcohol and smoke-free in supervised and safe venues.

Committee members aged 12-25 years make decisions and lead in the staging of events, whilst broadening networks within our community and undertaking training, development and reward opportunities.
