YACWA Great Southern (Albany) Young Changemaker Workshop

“Be the change you want to see in the world”.

Sometimes, it can feel like the pressure to save our planet from climate change, prejudice and discrimination, poverty and inequity, and global pandemics is on the shoulders of young people alone to solve. With the world facing so many overwhelming problems, it can leave you thinking, where do I start?

We are thrilled to be launching a Changemaker Workshop to empower young people in Albany and throughout the Great Southern region of WA to take the first steps to becoming change-makers and advocates in your community.

This is for any young person aged 15 to 25 who lives, works, studies, volunteers or spends time in the Great Southern region of WA.
