The Aboriginal Youth Engagement Strategy has been created to inform those working with Aboriginal young people across a range of sectors, including local government, on how to most effectively engage with Aboriginal youth.

"The strategy will provide a guide for those working across a range of community sectors to help encourage and support Aboriginal youth in achieving their goals and reaching their potential," Shoalhaven Mayor Joanna Gash said.

The launch is being held as part of the council's Youth Week celebrations.
