Closes 11 July
The U25-GO grant opportunity assists targeted organisations to deliver crime prevention and drug diversion programs for youth under the age of 25 at risk of engaging with the criminal justice system.
The objectives of the grant opportunity are to:
- provide alternative pathways for young people who are at risk of being engaged in criminal and/or anti-social behaviour
- promote inclusion and build community resilience and strengthen family support structures
- enable young people at-risk to break patterns of recidivism and cyclical engagement in criminal activity
- help young people at-risk to develop life skills to prevent them from becoming entrenched in the criminal justice system and to promote inclusion and build community resilience.
The intended outcomes of the grant opportunity are:
- improved engagement of young people at-risk in education, work ready programs and the community more generally
- decrease anti-social behaviour or engagement in criminal activity and an increase in positive community and family engagement.
Grant funding for this grant opportunity will be available over 2 years from 2024-25 to 2025-26.
