Hope for the Future Program 

Concern Australia and the City LLEN have been working in partnership for over 7 years on various initiatives to support the most vulnerable young people, including those at risk of homelessness or who are already homeless.  In 2019 the LLEN has been working with Anne Mitchell (who you may have seen on the Hesta TV advertisements having received a community service award for her work with young people) to help develop a new program that will deliver a range of interventions and supports for young people to overcome barriers to educational success.  Leveraging the Steps Outreach Service and with support from the Melbourne Rotary Club, young people will be identified for on-going support. The aim is to help them break the generational cycles of family violence and dysfunction that can lead to homelessness and trauma by helping them stay connected to school and helping them develop a talent or interest in a skill or past-time they can achieve success in.  This has the benefit of also raising their self-esteem and self-perception as a learner and could be in an academic area or in music, sport or the arts.
