What is FReeZA?
Hume's FReeZA Committee HYPE (Hume Youth Productions & Events) is a group of local young people aged from 12 to 24 who plan and organise events for young people in Hume.
FReeZA is a State Government initiative that gives young people the opportunity to lead the planning and staging of live music and cultural events within their local communities. As one of the state-wide providers, Hume City Council's FReeZA program provides performance opportunities for local musicians and emerging artists to showcase their talent through competitions and events. All FReeZA events are fully supervised, drug, alcohol and smoke free.
Being on a FReeZA Committee is a great way for young people from the area to develop event management skills and connections with the music industry with support and guidance from the Hume Youth team.
What does the FReeZA committee do?
Throughout the 2022 program, the FReeZA committee will have weekly meetings either face to face in a Hume youth centre or via online meetings.

- Brainstorming and planning events
