Reece Harley / International Youth Ambassador and all around cool guy

Welcome to my blog!

The City of Perth, in partnership with the Perth Youth Advisory Council has established a fantastic community initiative called the International Youth Ambassador Program. The City is sending a young person from Perth to the United States and Canada to be inspired by the work of communities-organisations in order to bring back valuable seeds of knowledge and practical plans to improve our City.

No point in re-inventing the wheel right? So why don't we find out how the City of Houston tackles Youth Homelessness, or how the City of Halifax fosters a culture of creativity, music and celebration, and implement the very best ideas back here in Perth?

I'm heading off on the 30th of April for a few weeks, and i'd love you to follow my travels. Subscribe to my RSS feed (orange box in the top right-hand corner) and keep an eye out for new posts!

Signing off for now,

Reece Harley
