Lions Youth of the Year (YOTY)
Updated 19/10/2020
Basics This is a prestigious event for young people allover Australia. Many now high profile Australians are among the ranks of our former entrants. These include our past Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, past Premier of Qld Peter Beattie, ABC’s Sabra Lane and Qld Senator Simon Birmingham.
Commenced in 1964 this program in 2021 is now in its 57 th year.
Participants have an unequalled opportunity to refine interview skills, in a relaxed & friendly atmosphere. Also practise and refine your public speaking skills and network with like minded students from other campuses.
Prelimenary is the student interviews usually held a week or two before the first (club) round.
During each round students will deliver a five minute prepared speech and are given two impromptu questions to answer.
