What we do...
Choice develop partnerships that support and contribute towards the delivery of practical, relevant, and meaningful projects that improves the resilience of the social capital in the communities we serve.
The proects are designed and developed to primarily acheive the following:
1. Engage with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and who are receptive to conduct that is considered concerning by the wider community
2. Engage with disconnected young people (15 to 24 years old) with emphasis on re-engaging in education or pursuing training that leads to employment
3. Engage with prime age people, parents and carers, people with physical and hidden disabilities and mature age citizens to achieve goals in education, learning, training, employment, health and wellbeing
4. Engage with unemployed, long term unemployed and under employed people and support them to enter or re-enter the employment marketplace
The projects are designed and developed to increase self-esteem, confidence, respect for self/others and overall life skills. Through strategies proven successful since 1997, we encourage the concept of healthy choice making, positive thinking and responsible behaviour, as such increasing the enjoyment from life for the individual.
We create a user friendly, non-threatening learning and working environment that encourages and supports individuals to step beyond their comfort zones and strive to achieve their goals and dreams. This includes positive progression in health, education, learning, training, employment, sport, recreation, adventure, travel, and relationships, spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing.
