Darwin

Our Darwin team undertook a new look in 2019, as we implemented our "Each One, Teach One program", with an Aboriginal Workforce Grant from NT Government and support from YouthWorx NT.

 

When you visit our Darwin shopfront you will be greeted by...

Sharmayne

"Hi, my name is Sharmayne and I'm from Darwin. I am Torres Strait Islander and Larrakia. I grew up living in a community and in Palmerston. I have four brothers so I'm not much of a girly-girl, I love fishing and hunting but mostly art, I get inspiration from the bush, land and sea. I'm connected to the sea from both tribes; Larrakia is known as the saltwater people."
Kyemma
"Hi, my name is Kyemma Alice, I'm 17 years old and the oldest out of my 3 younger brothers. I'm a Central Arrernte from my fathers side and Anmatjere on my mothers side. I was born in Alice Springs but decided to move to Darwin and stay. I love going to new events that happen around town, especially with family. I also love sketching and listening to music in my free time."
