Western Edge Youth Arts is a non-profit organisation established to provide positive arts and performance experiences to young people from different cultural and social backgrounds living in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Projects are managed in community contexts and in schools projects.

WEYA celebrates cultural and linguistic diversity, and through the communicative power of artwork and performance, works with young people to enhance their artistic, communicative and problem solving skills. The acquisition of these skills empowers young people educationally and socially. As they grow in respect for themselves and others, they become ambassadors for a socially just and harmonious society.

We value the empowerment of all young people, particularly those facing social and cultural marginalisation, through

Access to quality arts experiences

The creation of artistic works that have an authentic youth voice

With commitment to

Innovation in youth arts and education

Professionalism and accountability, and

Social justice
