Empowering the Future: Highlights from a Weekend of Culture, Community, and Youth Voices 

Two women embrace and smile at the camera, wearing matching, colorful shirts featuring intricate dot patterns. Behind them, others are seated and engaged in activities, suggesting a well-lit indoor community event. This snapshot captures the vibrant spirit of the Weekend of Culture.

What an amazing weekend for our youth to connect to culture, community, and other young people while raising their voices to the community and let’s not forget having fun.Huge shoutout to our sponsors, Regional NSW (funder), The Wollotuka Institute  (platinum), Eleanor Duncan Aboriginal Services  (Platinum), Training Services NSW  (silver), NSW DCJ Communities & Justice Jobs  (bronze) and E-Bisglobal Pty Ltd  (custom).

This doesn’t happen without the hard work of all the volunteers who sacrificed their weekend for our young people and also all our facilitators and supporters. And last of all the youth. Turning up and taking part is what will help us build a better, brighter future for you all.
