What's in a name? CMYI becomes CMY...
| On 1 July 2008, the Centre for Multicultural Youth Issues (CMYI) will be dropping the 'Issues' and will officially become the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY).
This change of name coincides with a shift in our organisational structure and marks the 20 year anniversary of the organisation (which began in 1988 as the Ethnic Youth Issues Network). For the past 8 years, CMYI has been auspiced by the Australian Multicultural Foundation. As of 1 July 2008, CMY will become its own separate entity with a new CMY Board of Management, PBI and DGR status (which means we will now be able to accept tax-deductable gift donations), and we will have a fresh new logo.
So, what does that mean for our partner organisations and how we work? Very little! CMY will continue to deliver and operate as a community organisation committed to working with, and advocating for, young people from diverse backgrounds. Our principles of Participation, Diversity and Human Rights remain. We will continue to deliver the same services and programs, and look forward to continuing to work in partnership with young people, communities, government and services.
Please bookmark our new website address - www.cmy.net.au - and note that all CMY staff email addresses will be changing to the format: first initial last name@cmy.net.au. For example, Louise Olliff will become lolliff@cmy.net.au.
