The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP) provides Scholarships and leadership opportunities for young Indigenous Australians. It is offered in conjunction with the Indigenous Education at Pembroke (IE@P) program.

Indigenous Youth Leadership Program

Working in partnership with ÐÓ°É, the IYLP is run by The Smith Family, with funding support through the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. The program aims to close the gaps in Indigenous educational disadvantage by creating greater access to additional education choice for Indigenous students, particularly those from remote and extremely remote areas of the country.

As well as helping Indigenous students achieve their educational aspirations, the IYLP strives to develop positive role models and leaders to inspire other Indigenous students.
