PURPOSE
- Danielle McAlpine Johnson
CheekyMac’s youth programs have been designed by a team of teachers, youth mentors and artists as a proactive tool to empower disengaged and disadvantaged youth to discover a purpose driven life and enhance community capacity building.
Through the art of music, film, motivational speaking and songwriting workshops we aim to tackle the rapid decline in the mental health of youth by assisting students to find their authentic and unique identity, reduce isolation and anxiety, improve self worth and sense of belonging and explore solutions to better the world around them.
