Youth Support Coordinators are employees of Woree State High School and are able to provide a confidential service to young people who are at risk of disengaging or who have recently disengaged from education.
Youth Support Coordinators work closely with young people on a voluntary basis and in conjunction with a range of Community agencies, and can make referrals to access the most appropriate support services. We can provide information, support, advocacy and referrals to young people who may be experiencing a range of issues, that are impacting their engagement, including:
School attendance
Financial barriers or difficulties
Accommodation or housing difficulties
Relationship issues
Family conflict or changes
School related issues
Youth Support Coordinators aim to support young people to remain engaged in education, or transition into other training or employment.
Youth Support Coordinators also facilitate group work and community programs in partnership with the school and other community support agencies to ensure that the emotional and social support needs of young people and their families are addressed.
You are welcome to contact our Youth Support Coordinators directly if you would like to make an appointment or would like any further information about the program.
