Advocacy
We advocate for Priority Group Learners, at-risk young people and their families/guardians who are feeling left behind, or don’t belong.
Through our Social Impact Model in partnership with Griffith University we gather data through our field based practice findings, and build the evidence to shift the dial on entrenched socio-economic barriers for at-risk young people in regional QLD communities.
We engage through allyship with young people who are experiencing challenges with future thinking to gain a better understanding of the issues they are facing to accessing meaningful employment pathways.
We bring diverse peoples, groups and organisations together to work collaboratively, and in partnership to address the mounting complex social problems faced by young people living in regional communities.
