CATALYST
Supporting youth for life
LeaderLife’s CATALYST program is aimed at young males aged 13-18 who are at risk of disengaging from education and have had emerging contact with the criminal justice system.
Our program focuses on ‘Creating Access To A Loving Youth Support Team’ by offering young people having a hard time an opportunity to reconnect with education and training, become work ready, find jobs, heal from psychological trauma and pursue positive life pathways. We do this by providing safe, caring adult role models for our young people. And through engaging our youth in diversionary activities, we are able to provide individualised care, links to opportunities and doorways into their community.
CATALYST is currently engaged with the University of NSW’s Drug and Alcohol Research Centre’s ‘Youth At Risk Research Network’ (YARRN), as part of a nation-wide project investigating innovative ways to work with young people with complex needs. This research will continue throughout 2021.
