DETAILS

📍 Peterborough Youth & Community Centre

🗓 Fortnightly 2nd & 4th Fridays May – Nov 2026

⏰ 7pm – 9pm

Reign is a youth-led creative program where young people design and deliver four community events across 2026.

Reign is a project of the Peterborough Local Drug Action Team.

We are also recruiting two people to work with Alysha and Nic as project officers to deliver Reign. This opportunity is best suited to school leavers within the last 5(ish) years as it’s designed to provide casual employment and upskilling towards other opportunities.

Reign is facilitated and mentored by Alysha Herrmann and Nic Tubb from Part of Things. Nic and Alysha are donating their time to Reign to support the Peterborough community.

Alysha Herrmann (she/her) lives, loves, and creates from regional South Australia. She is an award winning independent creative producer, writer, performance-maker, and community organiser, and the co-founder of Part of Things. Alysha makes and produces installations, experiences, presentations, poetry, digital exchanges, performances, and other creative things in all kinds of strange places, including real-life loungerooms, train stations and backyards.

Alysha works across disciplines in the arts, mental health, community & regional development, youth work, education, social justice and social enterprise to bring community ideas to life.

Alysha writes and creates experiences about vulnerability, community, hope, grief, forgiveness and belonging. She is best known for her work collaborating with young people and regional communities and is a Regional Arts Australia Fellow and an Australian Rural Leadership Program Fellow. She currently serves on the boards of Outback Theatre for Young People and Carclew, and she also works as a highschool English teacher in regional SA.
