We need young people to help us create calmer, safer and more connected streets across Western Australia. Our projects empower young people to work together and create spaces that improve their communities for everyone.

Help out at our next makeover

We'll be working with young change makers in the Kalamunda community throughout November 2024 and January 2025 to create a youth friendly public space along Haynes Street.

Register to join us at one of our upcoming workshops!
