HELPINGTOCHANGE YOUNGPEOPLE'S LIVES
Supporting young people to be the best they can be through strong relationships, a love of learning, finding the right career and being connected with their community is a key driver for many of AnglicareSA’s programs. Sadly many young people lack stability in their lives, affecting their education, social and future career prospects. Two programs by AnglicareSA are having a major impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in our community – Power Generation and Turning Point . A partnership between AnglicareSA and the Port Adelaide Football Cub’s Power Community Ltd, the Power Generation program supports young Aboriginal students to continue their education and transition into vocational training and employment. Practical and relevant assistance is given including mentorship, job readiness, emotional wellbeing, driving lessons and access to training. Nineteen year old D’Allen Worden credits the Power Generation program for his success in securing a full- time traineeship with the State Government.
“The Power Generation Coordinator went above and beyond to help me,” he said. “She helped me find suitable clothes for job interviews, write cover letters and resumés, gave me interview tips and put me in touch with recruiters for the Government’s Jobs4Youth program. “I’m now working in a full-time traineeship position with the Department of Premier and Cabinet.” Another much-needed and successful program from AnglicareSA is Turning Point. This program provides safety, dignity and stability for single parent families fleeing domestic and family violence. AnglicareSA provides them with short-term housing and social support, helping the children address trauma and stay engaged in school, whilst transitioning the families into stable, long-term housing. These life changing programs need your support.
