Youth programs

Visible Ink

The Visible Ink program is Council's Youth Strategy. It's about helping young people to take part in their city and have a say in Council's activities, programs and policies.

Visible Ink is about Council working together with young people. The strategy includes:

  • Visible Ink website - information for youth, online surveys and discussion groups, news and events and links to other useful sites
  • spaces for young people to hold meetings, plan and organise projects and events and access youth networks

Visible Ink spaces

The Visible Ink Valley space is part of a city wide network of youth spaces supported by Brisbane City Council for people under 26 and organisations that work with young people.  This space is located at:
