    What is Youth Connections

    Youth connections will provide a safety net for young people who have disengaged from education, or are at risk disengaging, through the provision of tailored case management, mentoring, and alternative education. Our aim is support young people to re-connect with education or training and build resilience, skills and attributes that promote positive life choices and wellbeing.

      Youth Connections is a program for young people aged 13-19 years who are at risk of not making a successful transition through and from school to further education, training or work. Youth Workers will meet with young people either at our office, school or at a place that is convenient to them in order to support and assist them to achieve their goals.
