Youth Music, Arts & Culture
“Amplify is a youth development program that provides young people aged 12-25 across metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria with opportunities to access live music events and other cultural, recreational and artistic events that are drug, alcohol and smoke-free in supervised and safe venues.
Amplify was established in 1997 to provide affordable and accessible music and cultural events in safe venues for young people and to give local performers development and regular performance opportunities.
Through grants provided by the Victorian Government, young people have the opportunity to become a part of an Amplify committee to make decisions and lead in the staging of events, whilst also broadening networks within the community by connecting with local businesses, schools and other organisations. Being a part of an Amplify committee also builds self-confidence, create and develop professional relationships, and provide opportunities to explore various education and employment pathways in the music industry.”

The program requires a weekly commitment to meetings, as well as attendance at events and training sessions throughout the year.
