Youth Engagement Program
The Youth Engagement Program is a collaborative initiative that provides outreach to young people engaging in high risk behaviours including survival sex, drug and alcohol use and offending. The team delivers services primarily within the Mooloolaba and Maroochydore areas of the Sunshine Coast where particular public space issues have impacted upon young people and communities. The program assists young people to make connections with support services and provides responsive interventions to young people who lack links to supportive networks and services.

Reconnect Program
Reconnect is a Youth Homelessness Early Intervention Program, funded by the federal department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaCSIA), that offers a range of support services to meet the individual needs of young people and families where relationship difficulties and other pressures threaten family disintegration. The central focus of Reconnect is to assist young people and families to remain connected to each other and to the community, before issues such as early school leaving and homelessness occur.
Reconnect recognises that individual young people and families may have impacting multiple needs requiring early intervention strategies. The program is working actively with local services and people to develop a regional strategy in regards to issues surrounding youth homelessness.
