President Simon and new member Brigit attended the Youth of the Streets Big Morning Tea at the Bowen College in Maroubra today to support the council. Rotary recently invested in new camping gear so the kids could go camping and keep warm, and we look forward to future collaborations with Youth Off the Streets
Youth Off The Streets is a not-for-profit youth organisation. They work with young people, their families, and communities to create safety, offer support, and provide opportunities to build a positive future.
Since being founded by Father Chris Riley, they have grown over the past 30 years to deliver a range of wraparound supports for young people. These include crisis accommodation and housing services, independent high schools, alcohol and other drug counseling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement, among other services.
They are a non-denominational organisation with a focus on early interventions that empower young people and strengthen communities.
