Youth Commitment

INLLEN is committed to developing networks across the Darebin, Moreland and Yarra councils that develop an all of community response to improving outcomes for young people.

What is a Youth Commitment? A Youth Commitment is a network of local schools, industry, education and community providers committed to improving access and opportunity for all young people living in the local area.

Key Goals
To support young people 10 to 19 years of age
To support students effective transition from primary to secondary school and engage in learning 
To support students to complete Year 12 or its equivalent Certificate II qualification
To support young people to obtain a full-time job that is linked to further education or training

What does a Youth Commitment do? 
A Youth Commitment is a preventative strategy centered around the learning and work circumstances of young people. It provides a clear initial focus of energy, a common framework for action and a collective means of developing the life skills and active citizenship over time of each young person in local communities." Dr John Spierings, Dusseldorp Skills Forum''.
