Youth Reach is also a provider of the Department of Education’s Youth Connections program designed to provide a safety net for young people living on the Northern Beaches of Sydney who are disengaged – or who are at risk of becoming disengaged – from education.
The Youth Connections Program provides individual support for young people who are
experiencing difficulties with maintaining school attendance are severely disengaged and/or are suffering from a range of complex needs with the appropriate support and guidance to reconnect with an education pathway that will ultimately lead to a Year 12 (or equivalent) level of education. Our experienced staff members are dedicated to providing assistance to children and young people who need extra support. Children and young people in the program benefit from one-on-one care through our case management and/or psychology services. A highly experienced team member is assigned to work with the young person to overcome the barriers they currently face, so that they find a renewed desire for education. The wish list would support this program.
