Rockingham Youth Reference Group
The Rockingham Youth Reference Group (RYRG) is a group of young people aged 12 - 24 years who contribute to the success of the RYC by providing input into programming, events and advocacy. They act as a reference group on behalf of young people in Rockingham, contributing to the RYC and across the City of Rockingham.
