3. Characteristics of the organisation.
The Viva La Gong festival is a great information source, a place to express youth ideas and concepts. It is also a way of keeping up with what is happening around the Wollongong area.

It is entirely a volunteer effort so the Viva La Gong festival welcomes extra help, time, or talent offered by people interested in keeping the site up and running. Submissions of articles, stories, poetry, links to other sites, items to trade, original artworks, photographs and events to advertise in the calendar are welcome. Rules controlling what will be used are governed by their non-denominational, non-politically biased and non-racist stance.

The Viva La Gong festival aims is provide information to a wide audience. It identifies the need for an online youth forum and connects young people of different interests, cultures and locations.
