The RSL believes in investing in Australian youth.
We aim to give today's youth an understanding and an appreciation of the sacrifices that have been made in defence of the nation and the values those who fought strived to defend. The "ANZAC values" of courage, mateship, determination, humour and ingenuity feature prominently in our youth campaigns.
To this end the League has adopted the RSL Youth charter.
By investing in Youth programs, the RSL has three main objectives:
- Promoting pride in and loyalty to the nation
- Promoting shared community values, especially ANZAC values
- Promoting service in the Australian Defence Force
