The Message Tree
About the Project
The Message Tree is a space where young people can reflect and share their thoughts with the community - an opportunity for young voices to grow and be heard.
Each leaf on the Message Tree represents a moment of kindness and inspiration, contributing to this living display that grows with positivity!
The leaves are curated by young people living in The Hills, aged between 12 and 24 years.
Once all leaves have been collected, they will be brought together in a beautiful display of the voices of young people in The Hills. Together, we’re growing something beautiful—one message at a time.
The Message Tree is an initiative of our current Sydney Hills Youth Ambassador, Advika Kapoor, with the support of The Hills Shire Council.
