Young migrants and refugees might be new to Australia but they are often passionate about the environment. That's why Environment Victoria is working with them to help them make a difference.
Through our Multicultural Leaders in Sustainability program, we provide young migrants and refugees with the leadership skills they need to help their communities live more sustainably.
We take them on a four month training program in leadership and sustainability. Then we help them run their own sustainability projects, taking the message straight to migrant and refugee communities.
In 2010 we're in Brimbank in Melbourne's west, delivering MLS with the Centre for Multicultural Youth. Meet our young participants and hear about their sustainability projects in our new film.
Environment Victoria is one of the leading environment groups in Australia. We're plugged in and organised. Independent of government. Solutions focussed. And definitely not-for-profit. We're mobilising 5 million people - that's every Victorian - to take Green Action and safeguard our environment.
