Youth

Shine and Strength personal development courses are facilitated for young people to enhance their sense of value and identity; understand the power of choice and grow in emotional resilience; and encourage participants to dream and set goals for their future. They aim to equip young people with the knowledge and skills needed to develop greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Youth COACH is a mentoring program that requires mentors to commit to helping a young person achieve their goals by improving and developing their life skills. Mentoring takes place for an hour at participating local high schools. Becoming a Youth COACH mentor enables you to make a positive contribution into a young person’s life and is a very rewarding 12-month commitment.

Ensuring young people have increased access to spaces where they feel physically and emotionally safe and are bonding with positive youth and adult role models. Safe Spaces may involve activities including but not limited to hang outs in drop-in centres, food programs, sports competitions and homework clubs.
