Junior Council forms the first tier of the City of Rockingham leadership pathway for young people. The program offers two representative students from each primary school in the Rockingham area, and students attending alternative education programs, the opportunity to learn about advocacy and decision making at a local level. 

Throughout the year, Junior Council delegates will learn about local government decision-making processes, debating, and most importantly, what it means to represent and advocate in their community. Junior Council is run in a similar way as the City’s Ordinary Council Meetings with Junior Councillors being asked to table motions, debate them and vote on recommendations that are presented to Council each month. Past Junior Councils have been integral in initiating key projects such as: the development of footpaths in residential areas; installation of recreational equipment in parks; waste services initiatives and other youth motivated developments within the City.

The Junior Council meets once a month from July to November each year. Students are nominated by their school principal to join the program. 

The Rockingham Couch Surf for Youth Homelessness Matters Day was held at the Rockingham Youth Centre on Friday 16 April 2021.

The event is hosted annually around National Youth Week and Youth Homelessness Matters Day and was presented in association with headspace Rockingham, with support from Vicinity Rockingham Centre.

The free event aims to raise awareness of the issue of youth homelessness. This year's event featured couch surfing races, free food, music, entertainment, resources and support for young people.
