Partners

Crime Stoppers Youth Challenge Queensland is a collaborative program delivered by the Queensland Police Service, Queensland Fire and Rescue Services, Department of Education Training and the Arts and Crime Stoppers Queensland Limited.

What do participants need to do?

Participants are encouraged to research the issues, the impact and consequences of arson from the perspective of the victim, the community and the offender. Working together in groups, or individually, participants interact with their local Crime Stoppers volunteers, police officers, fire and rescue officers and community groups to build their understanding of the work of Crime Stoppers and the responsibility of citizens to help prevent arson.

Students are asked to submit an entry focusing on arson. Students can choose any form to submit their entries. For example students may wish to submit: 

• Story
• Board game
• PowerPoint Presentation
• Play

Who can take part in the Youth Challenge?

Queensland school students from Years 6 to 12 in conjunction with either their school or youth organisations. Students who are home schooled in Queensland are also welcome to participate.
