Over The Rainbow Pride Committee – Mount Alexander Shire Youth

Overview

Over the Rainbow is a small committee of young people in our Shire who will help to bring Pride Formal 2025 to life… along with a “side project” of the committee’s chosing! The past two committees have produced Zine’s to showcase local queer youth talent, expression and creativity.

Healthy Equal Youth and the Victoria State Government funded the establishment of Over the Rainbow, with support from Mount Alexander Shire Council. So now the only question remains… What will the “side hustle” for 2025 be?

🌈Expressions are now open for the Over the Rainbow committee, please download the application form below.

Sessions will commence in Term 1 2026 – stay tuned for more info!

Pride Formal is your chance to come together and dance, celebrate, and party with pride.

It’s important that young people of our shire have a safe space to express themselves, and Pride Formal means you can attend a youth dance in clothes that make you feel like you.

A cohort of young voulnteers will come together to help bring Pride Formal 2025 to life. This means regular meetings, brainstorming sessions, and each member of the committee will step into their own role over time and leave the project with new skills.

Additionally, our OTR committee will decide what side project best meets the needs of queer youth in our town. The last two side projects were Zine’s, exploring queer identity. But the 2025 project will be up to you!
