Acting Sergeant Tam McKeown who created the SAY Project said “young people are often reluctant to take on-board the advice delivered to them by adults, whether it’s about the use of illegal drugs, road safety or any other community safety topic. The SAY Project aims to harness their enthusiasm, innovation and creativity to empower them to become educators of other youth on topical subjects.”
This year’s topic “Making Your Community Drug Free and Drug Aware” is supported by corporate partners local Lions Clubs and Murdoch University. You must have the support of your school or be a member of an established youth organisation to participate in the Project. More than 300,000 young people are eligible to participate
