Small Seeds by Stephanie Hillier

We came from all over the world
Into a group we were hurled
We explored stories untold
And watched the ideas unfold


Young people need to lead our service
It’s essential as our communities deserve this


The theme was young people in the driving seat
We welcome their learnings to talk, to greet
Let’s guide them and watch them grow
And their ideas and passion will clearly show


They are the key to prevention
The possibilities too many to mention
Education and mental health to meet Individual needs
Big change will come from these small seeds


With heart at the centre of all we think
We will ensure young people don’t sink
Connect, listen, trust and empower
Young people can stand as strong as the tallest tower


In any language  empowerment sounds like opportunity and hope
Young people, YMCA can throw you that rope
Grow strong and claim your right
The world needs your insight
