Refer a Young Person
The referral of a young person into Breakaway Youth generally happens through a local school or youth support agency, however we would still love to hear from you.
If you are considering referring a young person, please keep reading to learn more about our referral criteria and visit our Program Page for more information on how we operate.
Referral Eligibility Criteria
-
Our program is designed for young people who begin in Grade 5 (around 10 years old) and continue through to 15–16 years of age. This long-term engagement allows for consistent mentoring and meaningful relationship-building over many years.
-
Breakaway Youth operates primarily within Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs, with close proximity to our Preston headquarters being important as we regularly transport campers by bus.
-
We are a term-based and camp-based program, with young people attending monthly camps and activities throughout the year. Ongoing monthly participation is important, as the program is built around consistent relationships and gradual development over time.
-
Our programs primarily support young people who may benefit from additional mentoring, encouragement, and positive role modelling in a safe and supportive environment, and who may not otherwise have access to these supports in their daily lives.
