Street Makeovers
Our Street Makeover Program offers fun workshops and projects where young people can get hands on and redesign local streets that are more welcoming for everyone.
Ready to shape your streets?
Are you 15–24 and passionate about creativity, teamwork, and making a real difference in your community? Then our Street Makeover workshops are perfect for you!
- Workshop One: Get creative and learn how to design welcoming streets for everyone. Team up, share ideas, and play with online tools like Canva.
- Workshop Two: Put your ideas into action and build things like pop-up street furniture, paint temporary murals, green up your neighbourhood, and more. Learn to lead and use your voice for local change.
Do you work with and support young people?
We can partner with your organisation to truly empower young people in your community through our workshops and street makeovers. For more information, see RAC Ignite Street Makeover Program (PDF 967KB).
After your group has completed Workshops One and Two, we invite you to register your interest to deliver a youth-led street transformation.
- Mini Street Makeover: These are typically 3-6 month projects involving temporary and semi-permanent upgrades like artworks, temporary lighting, and moveable street furniture and planter boxes. Check out some of our latest projects for inspiration.
- Big Street Makeover: Building on the Mini Makeover, these are typically 6-12 month projects involving the whole community. Upgrades can include more permanent solutions like road murals, fixed seating and lighting, signage and changes to parking and street layouts. Check out some of our latest projects for inspiration.
