Young Achievers

What’s Involved?

The Young Achievers Program (YAP) provides support for students in years 10, 11, 12 and first-year university who excel in an academic, sporting or artistic field but who may not reach their full potential due to limited adult professional networks.

Young Achievers Program supports young people by:

Increasing self-esteem and life skills.

Providing opportunities for new experiences and personal development.

Introducing educational, employment and training opportunities.

Broadening social networks.
