Youth Support

The safe, youth friendly environment enables young people aged 12-18 year to come and make use of the available resources and programs.

Our role is to:

  • Ensure activities are in tune with and reflective of the specific challenges faced by the young people who attend
  • Work towards promoting strong, caring relationships and connecting young people with their families, peers and the community
  • Develop positive relationships with young people so they know help is available if needed
  • Provide support and knowledge on healthy and safe practices and lifestyle choices
  • Focus on working with the specific needs of individual youth and if required connect them to various agencies and youth specific resources
  • Guide the important transition from primary school to high school by connecting children to the supportive environment of the youth program
  • Assist in helping young people develop a pathway for their future
