An Innovative Approach to Youth Engagement
We’ve designed and deliver several programs aimed at supporting young people who are at risk of becoming marginalised. These free programs are run by passionate teams who work with individuals to overcome barriers and help them re-engage with their community, re-enter schooling, or find and keep jobs. All of our programs have four key themes — skills development, mentorship and support, access to employment and training opportunities, and community support.
Some of the great programs we offer young people are:
Youth Housing and Reintegration Service (YHARS)
This program supports people aged 12 to 21 years old living in Rockhampton and central Queensland who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused. This confidential program offers support on a range of key life domains to help the individual build a positive lifestyle in their community.
Workforce Australia’s Transition to Work
This program helps individuals aged 15 to 24 develop practical skills for employment. Through mentoring, participants will gain the skills needed to find suitable jobs, connect with local education, support services and access real-world work experience opportunities in their area. Funded by the Australian Government’s Safer Communities Fund, this program is available in North East Melbourne, plus Albany and Northam in WA.
CYCLE
Funded by the Australian Government’s Safer Communities Fund, this program engages young individuals aged 12-21 in the Rockhampton and Livingston areas who are either unhoused or at risk of homelessness, in a hands-on experience restoring mountain bike trails. CTC delivers this on behalf of MRAEL.
