Rolling out our four-year youth disaster resilience program

With support from Multicultural NSW, we’re excited to be rolling out a four-year youth disaster resilience program. Last year, we piloted the NextGen Navigators Program at Mullumbimby and Evans River High Schools — and we learnt a lot!

Now we’re co-designing the next version with some brilliant students from Evans River High, diving into what worked, what could be better, and how it all lands from a young person’s perspective. A fresh new look — and maybe even a brand-new name — is on the way. Stay tuned!

The heart of the program will be remaining the same: giving young people the skills and confidence to lead and support their communities during times of need. This time around, we’re also putting a spotlight on critical thinking by helping youth navigate the flood of information (and misinformation) that often comes during a crisis, and empowering them to assess what’s credible and what’s not.
