Outloud

Outloud is an intersectional, CALD-focused social impact not-for-profit arts organisation. We create genuine, meaningful, inspiring opportunities for young people in Western Sydney. Our award-winning projects address nationally relevant issues that are affecting young people in Western Sydney. We use community-embedded contemporary arts to drive positive change for young people with best practice, evidence-based programs that are fun and inspiring. We specialise in early-intervention harm-reduction that celebrates strengths and amplifies socially-marginalised young people’s thoughts and ideas. We connect our participants to mentors, peers, role models and industry contacts. We put a spotlight on global issues that are affecting our local young people and amplify their thoughts and ideas. We elevate skills and confidence and aim to build self-efficacy and social cohesion. We work with young people who are either emerging leaders, at risk, or looking for a way to make a difference. We work with them to create art that challenges, inspires, questions and makes an impact on the participants, their audiences, and hopefully – their wider community. We amplify local voices to create profound and lasting change in South-West Sydney.
