our program. We look forward to the results in late 2013 and we
anticipate further research partnerships to track and evaluate the
effectiveness of our work with Year 10 students and into their futures.
Our success in regional communities has involved developing
community-based trainers who provide a wonderful connection in
their community and give us the capacity to serve larger numbers of
young people. Strong results in regional areas are a testament to the
belief of the school leadership teams and the community business
leaders who share this vision and have readily promoted Youth
Opportunities in their communities, especially Port Augusta and
Whyalla, to raise additional funding.
Strong and consistent financial supporters are vital to our work

contributions of board members Melanie Champion de Crespigny

Vulnerable young people often have weak family
