Streetworks School

STREETWORK’S MISSION STREETWORK BELIEVES THAT VULNERABLE YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS THEIR PEERS - TO GROW AND ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS AND, TO DEVELOP AS A PERSON WITH HIGH SELF-ESTEEM Streetwork provides one-on-one mentoring to at-risk 11-18-year-olds, so that they are supported to break their cycle of destructive influences and behaviours, and turn their lives around. Our goals-based mentoring program and the support we receive from our dedicated supporters and volunteers are critical to our success. Streetwork’s Youth Case Management Early intervention and prevention, goal setting and, mentoring are StreetWork’s key focus areas. However, in order for us to successfully address the damaging influences and risk-taking behaviors impacting our young people’s safety, we also work with external, specialist youth services. These services include psychologists specialising in youth mental health and homeless shelters, purpose-built to provide a safe haven from domestic violence. Streetwork’s case management approach enables us to build a community of holistic support, to ensure lasting change and, improved life skills.
