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.
