First Nations youth leaders are gathering in Brisbane to help secure a 'yes' vote for the Indigenous voice to parliament referendum.
The group of 30 leaders from across Australia are part of the Uluru Youth Dialogue, an ambassadorial campaign operating since 2019.
They are advocates of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a constitutionally-enshrined Indigenous voice.
"Our young people are committed to this pragmatic reform that will achieve a better future for First Peoples and for this country," co-chair and Wiradjuri woman Bridget Cama said.
"The purpose of this event is to arm our young leaders with the skills and information they need to persuade Australians of the urgency and necessity of the voice and create better outcomes for our young mob and future generations to come."
Co-chair Allira Davis said it was important to raise awareness about the voice.
It comes after a recent Australia Institute poll showed more than 73 per cent of young Australians were in support of the constitutional referendum.
"As we get closer to the referendum, our young people will play a critical role in harnessing this support and educating the wider population," she said.
"This has been a long-term goal for us, and we are looking forward to working with the Uluru Youth Dialogue Ambassadors who will play a key part in the education piece leading up to the referendum."
The group members will formally launch the Uluru Youth Dialogue Ambassadors program at the end of the forum, which runs from Friday to Sunday.
