YOUTH ON PUrPOSE workshops

empowering disengaged and disadvantaged youth to discover a purpose driven life and enhance community capacity building

 
 

CheekyMac’s youth programs have been developed by a team of school teachers, youth mentors and artists, as a proactive tool to empower disengaged and disadvantaged youth to discover a purpose driven life and enhance community capacity building.

Through the art of music, film, motivational speaking and songwriting workshops we aim to tackle the rapid decline in the mental health of youth by assisting students to find their authentic and unique identity, reduce isolation and anxiety, improve self worth and sense of belonging and explore solutions to better the world around them.

RECENT pROGRAM

THE EAST G PROJECT

The East G Project was launched in five schools throughout East Gippsland in 2023, tackling the rapid decline of mental health in drought and fire effected areas, empowering youth with self expression through the art of music, film, motivational speaking and songwriting workshops.

We followed the youth’s journey on camera to capture those ‘golden moments’, as students discovered their purpose - showcasing their growth in understanding, mindset, character and wellbeing throughout the program.
