Being at Youth Vision is better than being in the city – in the city I get bullied but here I don’t.

Lime mortaring and safe tool use were my biggest achievements and I would like to do traditional plastering and rendering as a career.

Youth Vision is good; I’ve learnt a lot of things, like making fires. I only get these experiences at Youth Vision. It’s somewhere I can prepare food, which I like, and cook food for people.

I get better at cooking and that makes me feel good. I am confident cooking at home for myself and other people.

Youth Vision gets me more active, it gets me out of the city into the country, which is good for my health.

It’s an amazing place and has a really calm feel about it. Sean and Jordon have both gained so much from their experience here. This has translated into a better performance in the classroom. Thank you!

Really enjoyed the experience. The young people that come to Youth Vision really get a lot out of it, as it pushes their comfort zone and helps them to explore their strengths in a non-threatening way that helps expand their horizons. I love, love, love it!
