Creative Youth Initiatives
Empowering Youth.
Creative youth initiatives (CIY) provides free accredited music and art programs for young people aged between 16-25 years using creative expression as a tool for positive change in their lives. Located within Sydney's Surrey Hills. CYI adopts a Strengths Based Approach and aims to engage with young people who are facing many and varied challenges in their lives by focusing on their strengths rather than negative labels.
This was all within the Mission Australia Centre (MAC).
The Camperdown Project.
The Comman Ground model provides long-term, stable accommodation together with on-sit support services for homeless people. Linking support with long term accommodation has been found to be the best way to help people get their lives back on track.
Common Ground projects are already being running in New York City and in some other Australian states.
The Camperdown project - This six storey building as a number of options for accommodation, 104 self-contained studios, one and two bedroom apartments, plus space for on site - support services on the ground floor. Tenants will be mix of previously homeless and people and workers on low incomes.
Support - Services will focus on providing the appropriate support for previously homeless people to be able to maintain their tenancy and integrate back into the community and into employment.
