Youth Fusion 2022: Shire of Waroona to provide roster of activities for young people throughout entire year

A series of youth-focused events is heading to Waroona to offer an abundance of opportunities and activities throughout the year. Youth Fusion is an new initiative jointly curated by the Shire of Waroona and the town’s Drug Action Team program and includes a roster of free, fortnightly activities for 12 to 17-year-olds. Kicking off with an Outdoor Explorers event at Lake Clifton Reserve hosted by Mandurah Sea Scouts on May 20, the program is now in full swing and activities will be announced over the coming months with indoor rock climbing next on the list. Shire of Waroona president Mike Walmsley said the Youth Fusion ’22 program came after it was highlighted as “important” during the development of the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan. “We are proud to be delivering such a full program of youth engagement activities in partnership with our many valued community stakeholders and encourage as many young people as possible to participate,” he said. Supported by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation — an organisation committed to “preventing and minimising the harm caused by alcohol and other drugs” — the program will run through to December this year.
