Established in 2016, the Youth Graffiti Clean-up came to a head after a resident brought forward their concerns of graffiti in Lloydminster. Since then, the youth volunteer program has given nearly 1,000 volunteer hours in the beautification of multiple walking paths and various properties, which the city says contributes to the overall positivity of the community.
