This artwork is from a youth workshop held in the Fraser Valley last year. A one-day workshop for youth takes place May 26 in Abbotsford.

Fraser Valley youth and young adults are invited to share their ideas and experiences for building a healthy, vibrant community during a free one-day workshop on Friday, May 26 in Abbotsford.

The Art of Storytelling, hosted by the youth committee of the Fraser Basin Council, runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Trethewey House, 2313 Ware St.

The event is open to those ages 16 to 25 who are looking for opportunities to connect with others in the community and gain leadership skills, as well as exploring ways that youth can make a difference.

In addition to youth-led discussion and activities, the workshop features local storytellers, a networking lunch with adult mentors and leaders from the community, and an afternoon of collaboration for participants to create a large-scale community artwork for local display.
