We have just 24 hours left to Help homeless young people tell their story... Make a pledge!

Your support is greatly appreciated!

Home Is Where My Heart is a unique photographic exhibition held as part of National Homeless Persons Week through a collaboration between the Youth Affairs Council of Western Australia (YACWA) and Propel Youth Arts WA.

The exhibition is the culmination of a project that partners young emerging photographers with young homeless people, who are asked to take a photo that captures their interpretation of home.


It is the simple act of sharing knowledge and skills that makes this exhibition so powerful. Each photo is taken by the young homeless person; the emerging photographer is simply involved in enabling the young person to understand light, aperture and composition and how these creative elements affect the way we read an image.

This project has been running for five years now and we are asking you to help sustain it into the future.

Your support will assist us in growing the project by employing a dedicated staff member, building our capacity to involve regional young people in the project and will allow more mentor relationships to be established.

Home Is Where My Heart Is is a unique and valued project that gives homeless young people an opportunity to let the community know what their experiences are through the medium of photography.

The $20,000 will be used as follows:

- $10K to be used for part-time staff member - who will be responsible for growing the project and managing the day to day support of young people in the project

-2K for promotion of the event

-$5K for venue, art materials and stipends for mentors

-$2K to provide support to young people to ensure they are able to engage with the project

All contributors will be invited to the Opening NIght of the 2013 event in recognition of all of you making it happen, higher levels of contributors will be invited to exclusive events as listed in the rewards section.

Every dollar helps! and thanks for your fantastic support!


Every dollar counts- if you donate over a dollar you will get a virtual hug from the Home Is Where My Heart Is Team!
