What People Are Saying:
Don’t just take our word for it; hear from some training participants who have completed Youth Engagement Project training in 2024.
Who Are We?
A Message from the Founders:
Welcome to Youth Engagement Project.
We are Skye and Amanda, and with the rest of our team, we are stoked to introduce you to Youth Engagement Project, or as we affectionately call ourselves, YEP.
Youth Engagement Project began from understanding that there are more resources, funding and support services available to young people than there ever has been, yet the mental health and well-being of our youth continues to decline. This begs the question, where is the disconnect?
We have spent over a decade working in this space as educators, leaders, and facilitators. In that time, we have come to the realisation that the people who are supporting our youth need support themselves. And so, Youth Engagement Project was born.
We believe in young people and have committed our entire professional lives to working towards better solutions to help them flourish.
If you’re here, you are already a change-maker in this space. It’s clear you have a desire to ensure the work you are doing is meaningful and transformative for our youth, and we applaud you.
We’re excited to support you and your team on your journey to increase your capacity to engage youth. Our young people deserve it, and you deserve it, too.
Yours in supporting the next generation,
Amanda and Skye
