25.01.2022 This is especially relevant for our fellow South Australians who are going through tough restrictions at the moment. Remember to stay calm, and prioritise your mental health and wellbeing - we are in unusual circumstances and self care is key Artwork: @laurajaneillustrations

24.01.2022 Happy Pride Month! Every June the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies celebrate queer identity, culture, diversity, solidarity, and inclusiveness all over the world. In the programs that we deliver, we talk about how great communication and relationships are based on respect, and encourage all young people to be true to themselves. We stand with our LGBTQIA+ students and celebrate and respect their identities. #pridemonth

18.01.2022 Always Was, Always Will Be. First Nations peoples have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years, and in this week's NAIDOC celebrations we would like to acknowledge their connections and contributions to the land we live and work on today. To get involved with NAIDOC Week, click here for a list of events across the country: https://lnkd.in/eNkK7KM #NAIDOC2020 #NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC

18.01.2022 COVID-19 created uncertainty for our organisation last year, which meant we had to hold off on growing our programs. What we are seeing now is even more young people who urgently need our help, and we cannot ignore their plight. While our life-changing programs are valuable for ALL young people, we fundraise to ensure those experiencing adversity can continue to access them free of charge. But we need your support to achieve this. Your gift of just $20 can help provide 1 hour of Personal Leadership training to equip a young person with the skills to overcome adversity, build resilience and optimism, and prepare for their future. Donate or learn more about our programs and services on our website: https://lnkd.in/gMMgF34

15.01.2022 Diary of a submarine captain aka our Head of Training Larry Waller This past week has been a rollercoaster journey for our team. We caught up with our Head of Training, Larry Waller, as he reflects on how the last few days have impacted Youth Opportunities (and a comparison to being a submarine captain) and how it has strengthened our ability to pivot! We are looking forward to the final few weeks of our Personal Leadership Programs, which are currently being delivered in person and online across South Australia and celebrating the successes of our graduates! https://lnkd.in/ggzwj2U #innovation #youngpeople #pivoting #leadership

10.01.2022 Looking for Christmas presents or wanting to support a good cause? Today, Youth Opportunities SA launches its SA Greats Online Auction, showcasing some of the amazing businesses, products and services created right here in South Australia while also helping us to raise some serious funds to support young people. Head over to our online auction site where you can bid on a vast array of products and experiences the auction will close on 14 December and winners will be notif...ied for payment and collection! https://lnkd.in/ggqh-a2 While the current lockdown in South Australia has affected our community significantly, young South Australians are still needing our support now more than ever. We’re so pleased to already be transitioning the majority of our programs to be delivered virtually, making sure young people are being supported at home during this time. All proceeds from this auction will benefit young people, who are no doubt being significantly challenged by the current circumstances. We hope that you can enjoy some online bidding while being safe at home! #sagreat #SouthAustralia #fundraising #sabest #charity
