Our mission is to spark young people’s potential. We deliver evidence-informed, hands-on learning and mentoring programs, to help young people engage in education and build the resilience and skills they need to thrive. We partner with schools and other referral agencies to get young people learning ‘on the tools’, in the workshop, alongside our trained mentors. Sometimes young people need extra support to reach their potential, and TRACTION’s safe and supportive environment provides the boost they need towards a positive future. How you can make a difference Our programs are powered by the generosity of the community. You can help young people access TRACTION programs by making a donation, joining our Support Crew of regular-givers, volunteering, following our social media channels or simply signing up for our eNews! Young people need our help Many young people are facing challenges beyond their ability to cope. 1 in 10 are disengaged from education, training and employment 1 in 4 have a mental health challenge Tragically, more young people die from suicide than any other cause By giving them the tools of resilience, in an environment that nurtures their social and emotional wellbeing, TRACTION helps young people to engage in learning, build connections, develop skills for healthy relationships, consider future employment pathways, and better manage life’s challenges.
