GROUP PROGRAM
Adolescence can be a challenging time for many young people. Positive social experiences in safe and inclusive settings help teens build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
The Play Projects’ Community Connection Program provides opportunities for young people to build authentic friendships and explore their local community in small, supported groups. By introducing them to new experiences and activities around Yarrawonga, teens not only have fun but also gain confidence and the skills to try new things helping them transition safely and meaningfully into the local community.
