“Youth Inc. really is a gem of an education system. Traditional school never really worked for me and I’m glad I’ve found this place. I already had goals and motivation before I came here. Youth Inc. solidified that for me by believing in, encouraging and providing me with the opportunities to explore and build the life that I want to live.”

I am a young Aboriginal East Arante artist, that’s at the core of my identity. Youth Inc. helped me put together two art exhibitions. I am currently working on multiple murals. One is at Youth Inc. where I am using Indigenous symbolism to show the sense of community Youth Inc. provides.
