This year, we’ve already had to turn away 47 young people with no alternative local support available. The need for early intervention programs across #NorthernSydney remains critical. Every young person deserves access to support.

🎧 What Young People Are Saying Mission Australia’s Youth Survey highlights what matters most — from mental health to future pathways. At Youth Up Front, we see how vital it is for young people to feel heard, supported & confident 💬✨ #YouthVoice #FutureReady

Thinking About Life After School? Choosing a pathway can feel overwhelming. Events like the #NorthernBeaches #CareersExpo help students explore options, ask questions and connect with universities, training providers and employers.

Did you know? Real-world experiences like #workplacements can help young people better understand their future #careeroptions.

Confidence is a key ingredient for future success. Youth Up Front programs help students step outside their comfort zones and explore their potential.

Planning is underway for the Northern Beaches Careers Expo! 🎓 Connecting students with universities, training providers & employers to explore life after school. Join us this year 👇 ow.ly/WQi350YBKRU
