Breaking the cycle of youth disadvantage
Transformative programs for disadvantaged young people making strides in local communities
Transformative programs for disadvantaged young people play a crucial role in local communities by providing opportunities for personal growth and development. They offer a path out of the cycle of disadvantage, helping these youth build better futures for themselves.
Addressing the unique needs of vulnerable young individuals, these programs contribute to stronger, more resilient communities, reducing long-term societal challenges and fostering a brighter outlook for the next generation.
Whitelion, a dedicated non-profit organisation, is on a mission to break the cycle of disadvantage among young people aged 10-24. Their impactful work includes a variety of transformative programs and mentorships, making a positive change in the lives of those they serve.
Lara Jerrand, the National Practice and Research Lead, and Callista Keenan, a young beneficiary turned Chair of Whitelion’s youth council, joined Ticker’s Mike Loder to discuss the organisation’s programs. Whitelion’s innovative initiatives are creating pathways for young people to overcome adversity and build a brighter future. With passionate individuals like Lara and Callista at the helm, Whitelion continues to inspire and empower youth across the nation.
