Level up your change maker skills - FREE workshop for young people
Event description
“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 the Town of Victoria Park to take the first steps to becoming change-makers and advocates in your community.
