City After Dark - Perth

After dark, the city changes and the safety risks increase. Young people may be vulnerable to crimes such as theft and assault.

City After Dark (CAD) tours are designed for secondary school students, tertiary students and community youth groups.

Led by a WA Police Officer and a Constable Care Foundation assistant, tours highlight how relatively safe areas during the day become riskier when darkness falls.

The three-hour evening educational walking tours of the Perth CBD, and adjacent entertainment precincts, provides young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to stay safe when venturing out.

Why choose our Youth Choices programs

In the high-pressure world of secondary school, traditional ‘instruction’ rarely leads to behavioural change. Our Youth Choices suite uses ‘Forum Theatre’ – an evidence-based methodology where students become active participants in the narrative. By allowing teens to stop the action and trial different solutions to issues like consent, substance use, and mental health, we provide a rehearsal space for life. This ‘theatre of the oppressed’ style engagement is proven to increase retention and empower students to find their own voice.

We don’t shy away from the hard conversations. Our programs are developed in consultation with subject matter experts and Western Australian youth to ensure the scenarios reflect the actual lived experiences of today’s teenagers. Choosing Youth Choices means providing your school with a high-impact, peer-led experience that challenges prejudices, builds emotional intelligence, and equips young adults with the ethical framework to navigate adulthood safely.
