Youth Services

AMES Australia Youth Services empower young people from refugee, migrant and indigenous backgrounds to fulfil their potential within education, gaining assistance finding employment and increasing engagement through a broad range of social participation programs.

Reconnect

AMES Australia Reconnect is a voluntary holistic individualised, tailor-made program that supports and empowers young adults (aged 17-25) to access and engage with education and/or employment using trauma-informed, strengths-based youth centric approaches.

The program empowers young adults to overcome intrinsic barriers that prevent them from accessing education and employment via a person-centred, skill-appropriate academic curriculum that is delivered one-on-one or in small groups.

Reconnect program aims to address a lack of service provision for young adult from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and Indigenous Australian backgrounds currently not engaged in a mainstream education or vocational, employment setting across 11 Local Government Area’s (LGA) in Greater Dandenong, Flagstaff Melbourne, Maribyrnong, Wyndham, Brimbank, Hume, Dallas, Maroondah, Darebin, Stonington, Mooney Valley and 2 rural Victoria Hindmarsh and Mildura.

Engage!

The Engage! program works with young people aged 17 - 25 who are socially isolated and are not participating in educational, vocational or employment related activities. The program helps define pathways into education, training and employment opportunities. This is through a variety of activities such as industry visits to highlight career opportunities, youth camps to help young people build social groups, and D2E (Drive to Employment) to assist with attainment of P plates to increase employment opportunities
