DARDI MUNWURRO YOUTH PROGRAMS
YOUTH PROGRAMS
We work to empower young people, nurture leadership potential, promote help-seeking behaviour, build protective factors and provide connections back to culture.
The Youth Program aims to assist Aboriginal young females and males along their transition to adulthood, assisting them to grow into healthy young adults with positive support networks within their peer group and the broader community.
We help to prepare young people for adult life through one-on-one mentoring, self-empowerment and resilience workshops and team activities.
The target group for the program is young Aboriginal females and males in the following age groups:
- 10-17 years of age
- 18-25 years of age
The program is voluntary and has a focus on cultural connections.
