Drop-in Centre

6 Days per week. Our Drop-in Centre is our main program and is youth-led with our young mob leadership teams. We open for after school drop-ins and on weekends. We will feed the young mob as well as support them with education needs through providing tutoring and drop off home safely. Our Drop-in Centre is run on a cultural kinship model.

Education Engagement

We have a Youth Education Officer that supports our kids at school as we have identified that our young mob go to school and go to class but will disengage with what is being taught as they do not understand. They are then labelled with a behavioural tag which then puts them on the pathway to behavioural schools which are statistically shown for our young mob to end up in Juvenile Justice system. This position was created by the parents and children of our community for our kids.

Tutoring

Our tutoring runs 3 days per week during school term in our drop in.

Young Mob Fitness

Young Mob Fitness is run during our school terms, whether we train in the gym or enter into a community competition it's all about having a balance and letting off steam.

Redfern Youth Connect's impact is driven through whole of family approaches to backing our young people to be strong in themselves, their communities and culture. Our work is multifaceted and creates collective impact in the way it strengthens relationships, knowledge sharing and support across our community. We hold space for young people and families from all contexts to come together and are a core part of the community across Gadigal Country.

Our organisations values are embedded through our culture - respect, compassion, empowerment and integrity.

Our organisation is youth-led. We have junior and senio leadership teams which decide on how they want to create impact in the space. We are governed by a Board that is transitioning into a young adult cohort, with Elder leadership, to align for succession planning.
