Project Youth supports young people aged 12-24 across Sutherland Shire, Georges River and Bayside LGAs, offering programs that enable young people to become connected, safe and pursuing education.
ZCBB's interaction with Project Youth has highlights the reality of the diverse needs of youth in our community. Project Youth staff work to alleviate issues around homelessness and education. Most importantly they focus on education and skill training, and worked with many young people helping them to learn and achieve.
ZCBB provides financial support for their Project Educate program from profits achieved at Vintage Fairs held each year . Project Educate is an alternative education school where disadvantaged young people are engaged through flexible learning programs, practical skills, trauma informed support, employment and training. Annually they support up to ten young people aged under 17 who have disengaged from the education system, usually through no fault of their own. The success of Project Educate is evident at their graduation presentation at the end of each year.
