Sponsor a Journey
We’ve got great news for you, our loyal supporters and donors. We have come up with a new way you can help a young person facing disadvantage, living just down the road from you.
You can walk side by side with a young person on their journey to safety, happiness and independence. You can sponsor a young person, and partner with them as they overcome their disadvantage.
You see, Project Youth is a ‘wrap around’ service, meaning each young person is supported in all walks of life until they can stand on their own two feet. Donors like you make this possible.
A young person often begins their journey at Project Youth by attending Drop In at one of our youth centres. At Drop In, they get chatting with a member of our friendly team for specialist support. A young person might then be paired with a mentor from our local community, or enrolled into one of our programs or courses.
If they face homelessness, the young person can receive grocery vouchers, and they might move into our crisis accommodation. After a few months, they often move into semi-independent housing, then to transitional housing.
During this time, the young person can also engage in court support, counselling, drug and alcohol support, education and training courses, fitness groups, mental health, peer support groups and social groups, all run through Project Youth.
You have the opportunity to partner with a specific young person, and truly transform their life. Once they achieve independence (employment, private rental, safety, happiness) you can take pride in the fact that you made it possible.
But, at what cost?
Project Youth helps young people deal with and get through difficult situations.
Project Youth acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work. We acknowledge that this always was and always will be Aboriginal land and we pay our respects to Elders past, present & future.
