The APF offer heaps of services for young collectors through it's Youth Development Program . . . .

The Young Collector:  this is a free magazine for young stamp collectors. To get on the mailing list for a hard copy you just need to get in contact with your State Youth Officer.

Junior Stamp Clubs:  there are many junior stamp clubs and groups around  Australia - your State Youth Officer can help you find one nearby.

Support to Junior Stamp Clubs:  the APF works with State Stamp Councils to support junior stamp clubs and their leaders.  If you would like to join a club or seek help for a club you already belong to then e-mail Erica Genge or your State Youth Officer.

Mentor Program: Young people wishing to start an exhibit or improve an existing one can get help by letter, phone, fax, e-mail or face to face with adult stamp collectors who share the same exhibiting interest. To find out more about this program, please e-mail Erica Genge or contact your Youth Officer.

Young People Displaying at Adult Stamp Clubs:  adult stamp clubs sometimes invite youngsters to display at their clubs - we have a list of things that stamp clubs can do to help make  your visit enjoyable and it can even help them in looking after adults who display too.  To find out more e-mail or contact your State Youth Officer.

The APF Youth Award:  this award is made to help a young person to exhibit and attend a World Youth Stamp Exhibition. To be eligible, you have to have an exhibit, be between 16 & 21 years of age and be nominated by your State Stamp Council.  You must also be willing to talk to other young people about your exhibiting experiences.  For more info you can e-mail or contact your Youth Officer.

The APF Youth Page on the APF Website:  we hope you have enjoyed your visit. The site will be updated regularly and if you have any ideas for making it better for young people then just  e-mail or contact your Youth Officer.
