A Step In The Right Direction
Youth Pathways supports young people between 13 and 19 years who are at risk of leaving school before completing year 12, or who have recently left school without completing year 12. Individual assistance, support and guidance is provided to the most at risk young people to make a successful pathway through school and then to transition into further education, training or employment. It assists them to eventually become an active participant in the community.
