The Multifaith Multicultural Youth Network (MMYN) was established in September 2007 to provide advice to the Victorian Government, through the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, on issues and initiatives that affect young Victorians from culturally, religiously and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The MMYN is comprised of 25 young people from a range of faiths, cultures, ages, geographical locations and life experiences.

The MMYN meets four to six times a year and as well as highlighting key issues facing young Victorias, members have the opportunity to develop youth-led projects which respond to some of these issues.

Alongside their advisory role, MMYN members have been involved in a number of initiatives including:

• Developing and implementing five youth-led projects which focused on employment, media, sport, education and newly arrived young people;
• Planning and developing Schools Tours in 2009 and 2010 to discuss faith, culture and human rights with high school students in regional Victoria; and
• Participating in the Parliament of the World’s Religions and acting as representatives on the Parliament Youth Committee in December 2009.
• Participating in the 2010 Diversity in Health Conference organised by the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health in June.
• Participating in at Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission’s Everyday People, Everyday Rights Conference
• Planning and carrying out the “UBUNTU” Youth Stage as part of the Viva Victoria festival in 2011 in 2012
• Planning and delivering a joint public forum in 2011 with the Ethnic Youth Council on Young People, Identity and the Media: Perspectives from the Refugee Community.
