22.01.2022 Our deadly IYMP Brisbane participants were invited to perform at the Corporate Protection Australia (CPA) Group 2021 2023 Stretch RAP Launch on Thursday night. After enjoying the performance at the IYMP Brisbane graduation ceremony last year, CPA Executive Chairman Harley Sparke invited the IYMP Brisbane participants to share their combined cultural performance at the CPA head office for their RAP Launch event. Our combined cultural performance proudly showcases Aboriginal... dances, inspired by our participants who come from over 20 different nations, as well as Torres Strait Islander dances from Mer (Murray Island) in the Eastern cluster of the Torres Strait. The performance also included a sit-down dance from the Torres Strait in which the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers came together for a combined dance. This last dance was certainly a crowd favourite and a great opportunity to share our culture with the CPA staff members who were all very eager to join in and dance alongside us. Our charter to young First Australians is to help them Dream. Learn. Lead and especially be proud of their culture and their identity. Shout out to our IYMP Brisbane staff member Kyran Creed, as well as our IYMP Brisbane participant Douglas Odo for their hard work and dedication to helping organise this deadly performance. We would also like to thank all of the IYMP Brisbane participants who performed and those who came to support them last night. We would like to extend thanks to the Preston Campbell Foundation for their deadly service and delicious food, our patron Aunty Lorraine Hatton and her husband Dave Hatton, and our stakeholders at Corporate Protection Australia Group for inviting our IYMP Brisbane participants to be a part of such a significant event. Thanks again to all involved!

07.01.2022 Last week our IYMP Rockhampton staff and participants met with an ABSTUDY Travel Multi-Disciplinary Research Team and Services Australia member at the Brown St training room. IYMP participants Blaine Saltner, Elizabeth Thaiday and Stacey Sailor shared their travel experiences with the ABSTUDY Travel Multi-Disciplinary Research team. The IYMP participants shared their experiences travelling from their remote communities and islands on ABSTUDY’s travel itineraries, the difficu...lties with connecting travel, as well as the many other struggles they endured in their secondary and tertiary education away from their home and family support. On behalf of IYMP we would like to thank our deadly team and participants at IYMP Rockhampton for taking the time to share your stories and your experiences. We would also like to thank the ABSTUDY Travel Multi-Disciplinary Research team for supporting young Indigenous Australians in their educational journeys.

06.01.2022 Meet our deadly IYMP Townsville participant Gebbie China who has successfully completed her Provisional Driving Test in Townsville. Gebbie began her IYMP journey in Townsville back in 2017 moving away from Darnley Island in order to gain the skills and qualifications that will allow her to find full time work in an area she enjoys. Gebbie has successfully completed qualifications in the Individual Support area and is now in the last phases of completing a Diploma in Community... Services. Gebbie has shown her family back home, as well as her IYMP family here in Townsville, that you can achieve your dreams and goals with love, respect, traditions, and support of those close to her. Gebbie continues to make us all at IYMP proud every day and has worked hard to be able to recently obtain her Provisional Drivers License, through driving lessons with a local driving school and the PCYC Braking the Cycle Program in Townsville. Gebbie has been studying her Diploma full-time, works every afternoon and up until recently was completing her driving lessons. Gebbie is a great role model in our IYMP accommodation and always there for our new students coming through. Gebbie is a great cook and always makes sure others are looked after with a good meal and is always open for a yarn when the other participants need. The whole IYMP family are super proud of Gebbie and wish her all the best as she is preparing for her work placement and starts the next chapter of her journey with saving for her first car!
