SAVE KURANDA CENTRE

In late 2013 Youth Link Cairns (www.youthlink.org.au) established an outreach office in Kuranda located in Far North Queensland.

Youth Link Kuranda is a place based response to a range of youth concerns and issues within the local community.

It is well documented that young people in rural areas like Kuranda, have specific issues that are quite different from their metropolitan counterparts. Issues that many rural communities are unable to address due to the lack of support systems required to prevent and minimise these problems.

The culmination of these problems can lead to young people engaging in a range of at risk behaviours that can have far reaching implications on their immediate health and wellbeing and in turn can impact long-term positive life outcomes and lead to intergenerational issues.

Please visit the following links for more about the services both Youth Link Cairns and Kuranda provides:

GIVIT

GIVIT is an online not-for-profit that connects generosity with genuine need. They allow organisations such as Youthlink to request items they require for the young people they help. Click the link above and look for the requests that show "Paramatta Park QLD 4870" as the area, to see what we are currently requesting. You might have a mobile phone, some shopping vouchers or some cloths for babies and young people, or you might like to donate some toiletries that we could use to help young people in need.

CONTAINERS FOR CHANGE

Youth Link is part of the Containers for Change Scheme. When you bring your used containers to the drop off point for recycling you receive 10 cents for every eligible container. Not only is it great for the environment but it also gives the opportunity to help others. You can choose to donate this to Youth Link by using our Scheme ID number - C10413394

Not only is it great for the environment but it also gives you the opportunity to help others at the same time.

IGA
