COACH
COACH is a long term mentoring program. It matches disadvantaged families and young people with trained volunteers from the community to assist them to create a brighter future for themselves.
The aim of COACH is TO create opportunities and cast hope.
COACH influences generational change within families by breaking cycles of poverty and family dysfunction. Families are supported to deal with issues such as family breakdown, long term unemployment, early school leaving, addictions, homelessness and isolation. Community ties are strengthened, as families are able to gain confidence to improve their prospects and build social participation within their local communities.
