Empowering the next generation: the Young CCR program
The importance of listening to our youth and working together to build resilience, knowledge, and skills has never been more important. And thanks to our incredible community's unwavering support, we are thrilled to share the news that our dream project, the Young CCR program, is now set to become a reality!
A heartfelt thank you to each and every individual who believed in our vision and contributed generously to our fundraising call. Your faith in the potential of our young people and the transformative power of community-driven education is the bedrock upon which this program is built. Together, we are laying the foundation for an initiative that seeks to equip our young minds for an ever-evolving future.
Plan C's CCR training has already empowered hundreds of adults with essential skills, fostering resilience and preparedness. We've witnessed its impact firsthand, and it's this very success that sparked the idea of tailoring a similar initiative for our younger community members. Now, the Young CCR program aims to do just that - bridge the age gap and empower those who represent our future.
Our youth have consistently demonstrated their innate ability to rise to challenges. Their commitment to aiding not just their peers but also their wider communities is commendable. The Young CCR pilot will take this inherent drive and channel it, offering a tailored training program for 12 to 20-year-olds. This initiative is designed not just for them but by them. Our first cohort of 8 Young CCRs will actively participate in shaping the program, ensuring it truly resonates with their lived experiences and aspirations. If you know a young change-maker who'd be a perfect fit for this pioneer group, do reach out to us at ccr@planc.org.au.
Thanks to a local foundation that pledged to double every dollar we raise, our goal to fund the second cohort is even closer. What does this mean? You can donate to the Young CCR program and your contribution has twice the impact, allowing us to empower more young minds across the Northern Rivers region!
We once again turn to you, our community, with hope and gratitude. With your continued support, we can ensure our Young CCR program doesn't just stop at a pilot.
