Marrickville Youth Interagency

What is the Marrickville Youth Interagency (MYI)?

The MYI is a network of government and non-government agencies, and individual members who provide direct services, advocacy or programs for young people living, working, learning, or recreating in Marrickville LGA.

Members meet on a regular basis to share information, collaborate on projects which address needs identified by young people and their community, or advocate on behalf of young people.
