PROGRAMS

Empowering young Victorians by delivering programs that develop leadership skills, resilience and self-esteem to the benefit of our communities.

Our programs create experiences that change lives as young people connect with their communities and are recognised for their achievements.

Each program empowers young people of any ability to develop their skills, improve their physical and mental health, increase their resilience, connect with new peers and mentors, and discover new pathways for their future.
