Change Makers 2 Coffs Harbour

July-September 2023 | Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia

Change Makers saw a group of youth from across the Mid North Coast come together to have fun and work together on a range of youth-inspired projects. Presenting their ideas and projects at the Bellingen Community Markets in September was the highlight of the term where the youth engaged with the community:

raising awareness about climate change with community members completing eco-footprints
encouraging people to live more sustainably, giving out loofahs, seeds/seedlings and a homemade citrus cleaner made by the group
sharing learnings about the importance of frogs and their habitat, showing a demonstration frog pond and giving out pamphlets created by the group

“Meeting new friends has been a highlight for me. ”
