Undercurrent - New Journal from YAA

Undercurrent is the Journal of the Youth Accommodation Association of New South Wales (YAA). The Journal's focus is on addressing the problems of youth homelessness in Australia and seeking an academic and practical dialogue regarding the best approaches for the future.

YAA is now taking expressions of interest for the Undercurrent Peer Review Committee that will be responsible for reviewing articles submitted to the Undercurrent 2-3 times per year.

Interested individuals must be willing to commit to participation in teleconference/meetings associated with the planning and review process for a 2 year term. It is expected that individuals will also participate by reading and submitting comments on articles submitted to YAA for the Undercurrent. Positions are on a voluntary basis.

Please contact David/George on(02) 9698 5833 or yaa.com.au for further details.
