Three in five young Australians agree that creative activities and experiences helped with their mental health or wellbeing.*
That's because for many young people in regional areas, music, dance, visual arts and other creative activities provide important social connections as well as expressive outlet that has a significant impact on child development.
Join us in ensuring young people in regional Victoria benefit from the arts. Give now to double your impact!
This year with the generous support of Creative Australia Plus 1 funding, every donation received between now and May 2024 will be matched!
What will we do with your donation?
We will use your donation to fund:
Schools are the heartbeat of thriving communities and where many young people have their first experience of the arts.
For over 50 years, Regional Arts Victoria has been the leader in providing educational arts experiences for children and young people across Victoria. The Creative Learning Program aims to encourage young people to develop their creativity and enhance awareness and participation in the arts through accessible creative learning opportunities. It’s curated to support positive mental health and wellbeing, celebrating self-expression and learning with curiosity.
Each year we offer a range of performances and workshop programs to schools throughout regional and metropolitan Victoria and also run programs designed to support young people through mentoring, workshops and events.
For some regional schools and communities the cost of such programs is out of their reach. By donating to YEAH! you'll be helping to ensure that all young people in regional Victoria can have exciting arts experiences in 2024.
From little things big things grow - even a small donation will help to grow our Creative Learning Program.
