Annexe Education and Outreach Programs

Keys to keeping this initiative alive

The success of the Program will always depend on its ability to reconnect young people with their families. It is hoped that the continued work both through the Annexe Program and the proposed Outreach Program, as well as other programs running across the community, will strengthen families, skills and connectedness for Indigenous young people in Cherbourg.

The commitment that exists in the community to working together for these young people is essential to its future. No one agency or service can provide all that is needed for them. Programs complement each other in this whole of community approach to the welfare of at-risk youth.

Ongoing discussions with agencies are seeking to source funding for YACCA and the Christian Brothers to commence the Outreach Program. This would allow the employment of two Indigenous workers, a woman and a man, who could work with the Christian Brothers in the Outreach Program, to access young people living on the fringes in their community.
