When Mission Australia needed new logos for its Communities for Children program, the organisation knew exactly where to turn: to the children who are so pivotal to its work.
In partnership with the City of Greater Dandenong Children’s Advisory Group, Mission Australia conducted an artwork contest for more than 30 children to come up with new logos that represented the four key priority areas of Communities for Children (CfC).
The activity also aimed to nurture and support the confidence of local children, and assist children to learn key skills to communicate with others.
Mission Australia’s Communities for Children is an early intervention and prevention program aimed at improving the development, health and wellbeing of children aged 12 and under by addressing local needs and encouraging community participation.
