𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 – Cherbourg Represented in the QLD Indigenous Youth Leadership Program

We’re proud to share that one of Cherbourg’s own, Jenakai Simpson, is part of this year’s Queensland Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (QIYLP) — a respected program that brings together young First Nations people from across the state to strengthen their leadership skills, cultural identity, confidence and community voice.

QIYLP gives young people the chance to learn directly from mentors, Elders, community leaders and Members of Parliament, while building the skills to lead in their families, their communities, and their future careers.

This week, the cohort has been working with Dr Brad Murphy, a proud First Nations GP, respected health advocate, and long-time supporter of Indigenous leadership development.

Dr Murphy kindly shared this photo with Mayor Bruce Simpson, along with these words about the strength of the group:

“These deadly young First Nations leaders are stepping up, speaking up and showing what’s possible when communities support their young people. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them.”

Council extends a sincere thank you to Dr Murphy for his ongoing support and encouragement of young Queenslanders, including our own emerging leaders.

Programs like QIYLP remind us that our young people are our future. When they are given the opportunity to learn, grow and be heard — they shine.

Congratulations to Jenakai and the entire 2025 QIYLP cohort. Your community is proud of you, and we look forward to seeing where your leadership journey takes you.
