The Mind’s Eye is a youth newspaper written by and for 13 to 25 year olds in the Nanaimo region. Published by Nanaimo Youth Services Association since 1998, our aim is to “To create a voice for Nanaimo’s youth within the greater community, empowering them to become productive citizens of Nanaimo.” At the Mind’s Eye, we listen, encourage, respect, build self-esteem and help young adults reach their fullest potential.
The Mind’s Eye is one of many exciting programs at NYSA that are fun and free for youth in our community. Combining arts, recreation and real opportunities, these innovative programs include the One-Stop Teen Drop in Centre and Tune In, a music program that provides music instruction, recording equipment and production skills for interested teens.
