Father Riley's Youth Off The Streets
The Australian Group Travel Company is proud to announce our partnership with Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets program. We are now the official co-sponsor of a scholarship aimed at helping talented young people improve their lives, and to help lead them in a positive direction.
While the majority of young people in Australia successfully negotiate study and careers, some young people confront barriers that prevent them from achieving their best.
Father Riley and Youth Off The Streets aim to break down some of these barriers by offering assistance to young people who have determination, aptitude and skill in a chosen field or pathway and give them assistance and support that they need to achieve success.
The Youth Off The Streets Scholarship Program celebrates the gifts and strengths of young people from the Australian community who exhibit extraordinary promise but who lack the personal support networks and resources that will allow them to fulfill that potential.
It targets young people aged between 14 and 21 years old, who are disadvantaged and/or may be disconnected from their families or communities and who are permanent residents of Australia.
Since 2004, The Scholarship Program has supported over 80 talented young people, from all over Australia.
We at The Australian Group Travel Company eagerly await August 2010 when the recipient of our inaugural Scholarship will be announced and we will keep our website updated with their amazing achievements.
If you would like to contribute to this very worthy organisation, please contact Youth Off The Streets on 1800 06 22 88.
