Youth Group
Youth Group
Our Youth Group at CMWAC are a group of young volunteer aged 15-24. Youth Group members get to learn new skills, make new friends and get leadership experience. The youth group has planned numerous events and designed informational campaigns.
Past Projects
Art Contest
Art is an expression of the soul, and is a great way to express oneself. Through art many people find peace and solace. This is why we wanted to host an art contest – to give the youth a chance to showcase the possibility of art for mental wellbeing.
Summer BBQ
When the summer came to an end CMWAC hosted a BBQ, lead by the Youth Group members. The team got to relax, and bring young members of the community together.
Leadership Training
Our Youth Group got to be part of a leadership training where they got to learn what it takes to be a leader as well as improve themselves in the related skills:
