Hope for Life
An adventure-based support program for young people experiencing disadvantage
Who We Are
Breakaway Youth is an early intervention program which seeks to bring hope and opportunity to disadvantaged young people living in Melbourne. We believe that generational cycles of substance abuse, incarceration, family violence and welfare dependency can be broken by consistent and caring relationships, a healthy self-image, and empowering young people with the appropriate social and life skills. Our program offers long-term support in the form of adventure-based camps, activities and home visitation throughout critical adolescent years. Our program leaders are volunteers who put love into action by building trusted relationships with the young people in our program and creating a safe and engaging space for them to find identity, purpose and belonging.
