Member for Nanango, Attorney-General Deb Frecklington, has congratulated South Burnett CTC on their successful grant application under the State Government’s $100 million Kickstarter Program.
The funding will support South Burnett CTC’s Safer Pathways Program, a community-led initiative dedicated to helping young people steer away from crime and towards positive life outcomes.
“I am incredibly proud that our local organisation, South Burnett CTC, has been successful in securing this funding,” Mrs Frecklington said
“Their commitment to supporting vulnerable young people and strengthening our community is second to none.”
The Kickstarter Program aims to arrest the youth crime crisis by delivering effective, regionally tailored early intervention initiatives aimed at reducing youth crime, boosting education outcomes, providing training and employment pathways for at-risk youth; and delivering targeted support, mentoring and guidance.
“These grant-funded initiatives are designed to teach young people that anti-social behaviour has consequences, while also offering the support they need to make better choices,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“It’s about stopping youth crime before it starts, and I’m thrilled that South Burnett CTC will lead the way in our region.”
