Our mentors love to use art as a tool for self-expression, relaxation, and creativity within their mentoring sessions. ✨🎨 Together with their mentees, they hand painted these beautiful thank you cards, which we’re sending out to our incredible Creativ Minds community to show our gratitude for an amazing year together 💌

To everyone in our community: thank you for inspiring us, trusting us, and making what we do so meaningful!

💖 Here’s to another year of growth, creativity, and connection!

Our technology skills mentor has been working with one of our amazing participants to help him launch and grow his YouTube channel, 1980s Neon Electrik! 🎥✨

Len has a truly impressive (and growing!) collection of treasures from the 1980s and showcases his latest finds in cool weekly videos.

Together with his mentor, Len is mastering the art of video and audio editing, learning to use new equipment and techniques, and collaborating on creative titles, thumbnails and YouTube Shorts.

If you’re a lover of vintage, retro or 1980’s nostalgia, do yourself a favour and subscribe to 1980’s Neon Electrik on YouTube! 🎶📼

Anyone who has met Lauren can agree that she’s truly a ray of sunshine - radiating warmth, positivity and unwavering dedication to bringing out the best in the people around her.

A particularly touching moment recently was when one of our participants asked Lauren to accompany her to her year 12 formal. Initially she wasn’t planning to attend, feeling nervous and unsure because she didn’t know anyone in her year level. With Lauren’s encouragement and support, she found the confidence to embrace this milestone and give herself permission to enjoy the experience she truly deserved. The girls went dress shopping, got ready together, and shared an unforgettable night!

Lauren’s dedication to doing impactful work is truly inspiring. Every activity she engages in with her participants is infused with teachable skills and life lessons, demonstrating her commitment to seeing them grow, both personally and emotionally. She never shies away from tough conversations and has a knack for transforming sticky situations on the fly; ultimately creating uplifting and growth-oriented experiences for everyone she works with.

Lauren's empathy and care for others - while expertly managing boundaries to protect everyone’s wellbeing - is unmatched, and are just some of the many reasons she’s an irreplaceable part of Creativ Minds!

You're a gem, Lauren, and we're so grateful that you're part of our team 💛✨
