Youth Programs

Western Sydney MRC youth programs engage and support CALD youth across Campbelltown and Liverpool LGAs. These sessions aim to ensure that the young people can engage with their local communities and make strong connections with other young people who may have similar interests or experiences as themselves. These connections can help increase feelings of belongingness within their communities, which is particularly important for CALD youth who may feel isolated from their peers due to cultural differences or language barriers.

Our Services and Support

Casework

We offer one on one casework assisting you with identifying goals both personal and professional.

Holiday activities

We have multiple holiday activities including swimming, camps, sport and outings exploring Liverpool and the wider Sydney community locations.

Employment

We can assist with improving your employability skills and offer one to one support to help you get you employment ready.

Our Services and Support​

Young people continue to access Western Sydney MRC’s services to be supported through casework, information and referral, advocacy, and to develop the skills and capacity to address the various issues that they face.

We can offer information and support with:

  • Individual Casework
  • Free Homework Support
  • Information and advice around your options for work and study
  • Sports and fun activities happening around Liverpool and at the MRC
  • Applying for funding and developing your own programs, excursions or events
  • Referrals to youth organisations
Overall, our approach is to ensure that our youth workers create a positive relationship with young people, supporting them in day to day life challenges. We aim to build skills and ‘coping mechanisms’ to ensure that when they leave our service they are well equipped to tackle whatever life may bring their way. And that they stay in touch as they move along life’s journey.
Education and employment pathways continue to be the primary concern of young people, as they seek support in identifying their options regarding work and study as relevant to their skills and personal experience.
