Youth Pathways may be able to help you take a step in the right direction. Youth Pathways is funded by the Department of Education, Science and Training. Appointments can be arranged in your school or you can meet with a Youth Support Officer at the Hunter Valley Youth Express Office at 8 Bulwer Street, Maitland. The Youth Pathways Team is ready to help young people aged 13 to 19 years of age who are considering leaving school, or have recently left school, without finishing Year 12.
Each young person has their own Youth Support Officer who provides individual one-on-one assistance as well as the guidance and support a young person needs in order to overcome barriers and achieve their goals.
The Youth Pathways programme can help a young person:
- Identify their strengths and put goals for the future in place
- Provide a sounding board for school or home issues which are making it difficult to focus on school work
- Explore vocational possibilities
- With advocacy and referral to specialist support services
- With transition to further training, education or employment
If you are interested in accessing some extra support or you are concerned about a young person who needs a little direction, please contact the Hunter Valley Youth Express Office on our toll free number 1300 669 252 or call an officer directly.
