OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

The organisation aims at achieving outcomes at both individual and community level. Youth and citizens directly involved in community development initiatives willing benefit from increases in skills, knowledge, empowerment and self-efficacy, and experience enhanced social inclusion and community connectedness. As community members are empowered and developed as contributors, they can begin to challenge and improve conditions which are leading to their disempowerment or negatively impacting their wellbeing. At a community level, community development initiatives are likely to achieve long-term outcomes such as stronger and more cohesive communities, evidenced by changes in social capital, civic engagement, social cohesion, community safety and improved health.
