Speaker – Leanne King -The Avenue Neighbourhood house

Join us as we hear from Leanne King, of The Avenue Neighbourhood House.

Leanne will update us on the Renew and Refresh programs, programs supported by Rotary Box Hill Burwood.

ReNew’s primary focus is re-engaging adolescents who are completely disengaged from mainstream schools. Students participating in ReNew often have multiple issues associated with drug/ alcohol use, mental health, family detachment, homelessness and many have been in the juvenile justice system.

The Refresh Program is an annual program for young people who would like to try a different approach to their education. Designed for students aged 15-17 years who have had a break in their schooling or experience difficulty attending mainstream schooling, the focus of this program is supporting and encouraging young people to recommence or help them continue their education journey.
