The Youth Board was established in 2024, in recognition of the significant value of having young people's voices represented within the club.

The Youth Board’s purpose is to act in a consultation and advisory role for the Board of Management to give a voice to the views, needs, concerns, values, and ideas of the Club’s younger members to shape the future of the club for the next generation.

The Youth Board are been active ambassadors for North Cottesloe - reaching out to SLSWA and local surf clubs to share ideas.
