The IMPACT program aims to build a community of young Indigenous students, and help foster their skills in leadership, contribution to community and future pathways. Students engage in the program for three years (from Year 10 to completion of Year 12 or equivalent) and participate in a range of activities including leadership workshops, residential programs and activities to challenge and inspire them. Students are supported throughout the three years by the project coordinator and a mentor.
The Office of Youth Affairs offers grants for Youth development and leadership programs. The aim of these programs is to provide some form of development in areas such as self-esteem, team building, career, leadership, communication and public speaking. Examples of activities under this category include writing workshops, creative art workshops and leadership development workshops.
18-29 YEARS OLD? UP TO SOMETHING GREAT? Young Social Pioneers invests in inspired young Australians to develop their leadership skills and support their vision for social change. The program brings 14 change makers together every year, creating a dynamic community of like-minded individuals who develop their skills while learning from and inspiring each other. Each Pioneer receives 12 of professional training, development, mentoring and support for their project.
