Youth Support

Koordak provides a range of programs and services to support vulnerable young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families in the community. The organisation's mission is to empower young people and their families to overcome the challenges they face and to achieve their full potential.

One of the key programs offered by Koordak is our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth Service. This program is specifically designed to provide culturally appropriate support to our Indigenous youth and their families who are experiencing difficulties. The program includes counselling and support, education and tutoring, mentoring, volunteering  experience and assistance, and practical support such as food and accommodation.

Koordak so works in collaboration with the FINWA to provide community-based support to young people, and families who are in the care of the department, or who are at risk of entering care. This community support system is critical for vulnerable youth and families who may not have access appropriate support services . Koordak works closely with social workers and other professionals to provide a holistic approach to support, ensuring that young people receive the support they need to thrive in life.

In addition to our collaboration with FINWA, an organisation that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children. This partnership allows the organisation to provide culturally appropriate services to Indigenous young people and families in the community.

Overall, Koordak community support system is critical for supporting vulnerable young people and families in our community. By providing culturally appropriate services and working in collaboration with other organisations, Koordak helps to build resilience and promote positive outcomes for young people and their families.
