Youth Community Mural

Written By Sarah Bowker

This activity encourages youth participants to think about how murals can be used to convey a message, help build community, and be a source of pride.

With this activity, you will use the work of youth participants to create a large-scale community mural. Each youth will research important information about their community.

Once they have researched and brainstormed a mural topic, they will create a small-scale mural on a sheet of cardstock. These mini-murals can then be arranged into a large-scale mural. We recommend doing it with a group of 20 or more youth.
