About Country Connect Youth Engagement Program

Country Connect Youth Engagement Programs were developed after recognising the lack of activities and initiatives for youth in the Northern Territory regions.

We firmly believe that all young individuals should have equal access to essential items, recreational activities, and capacity-building exercises, which are vital for their social and emotional well-being. Whether it be engagement in music, sport, or simply connecting with country, our team are equipped to help youth reach their full potential with boundless possibilities.

What does our Youth Engagement program offer?

Our aim is to cultivate meaningful experiences for young people by facilitating connections to their country, community, and culture. We believe that by addressing funding gaps, we can create opportunities that enable youth to thrive and develop holistically, fostering resilience and a sense of belonging within their communities.

We offer a comprehensive selection of activities aimed at enriching the lives of young people. These activities include, but are not limited to, hunting expeditions, on country group outings, sports and recreational engagement, as well as capacity-building workshops.
