Youth Initiatives

Youth participation initiatives

Positive opportunities for young people to connect, explore interests and grow in confidence.

See how support works

Young people need experiences that feel relevant, enjoyable and genuinely theirs. 1Support's youth-focused direction centres on age-appropriate activities, shared interests, community connection and growing independence.

How we approach it

Initiatives should be shaped with the young person, respect individual preferences and create room for choice, voice and possibility.

What this can support

  • Interest-led activities
  • Social and community connection
  • Confidence-building experiences
  • Trying new environments
  • Everyday independence
  • Creative, recreational and lifestyle opportunities
