As part of National Youth Week, guys and girls aged 12-17 in the City of Gosnells have been discovering what sparks their creativity, what inspires them and what motivates them in life.
As part of the Buzz Mentor program, these local young people have focused on influential men and women who embody a positive message and made a difference in the world.
Their ideas have been painted on to boards and canvases and will be displayed at the city’s National Youth Week event to be held at Thornlie Skate Park, as well as the adjacent Thornlie Library and Leisure World on April 9.
