Learner goals and capabilities

Let us help you with your workload! We are looking to do a project which will benefit young people. If you are a Community agency and/or an NGO who advocate for young people with social issues, such as homelessness, youth disengagement from community/education, alcohol and other drugs, unemployment, domestic violence, indigenous issues and LGBTQI, we are able to work with you to provide a platform and voice through the many projects we are able to create.

The aim of the projects for our Youth Work students, is to provide mentorship and/or guidance for young people to take action on issues about which they are passionate about. Our students will require contact with a group of at least 2 young people as part of the project. We are based in Melbourne, Australia and can work with you online, both synchronously and asynchronously. Your youth people aged 10 to 25 years old, can be located anywhere in the globe.
