"What do I want to do when I finish school?" 🎒đź’
That's the question we asked students at the Brisbane School of Distance Education last week.
It was a blast creating a collaborative canvas activity where students shared their ideas, goals, and future plans through drawings and messages.
Our Youth Workers said, "It was a great way to start conversations, and many young people opened up about what they're hoping to achieve through study or work. The activity sparked lots of inspiring discussions around career pathways and the ways Brisbane Youth Service can support them on their journey."
At the South Brisbane Schools and Communities Expo, our Ruby’s team connected with guidance counsellors, educators, and community members to share how early support can make a real difference. Through our Ruby's Reunification Program, we’re helping to prevent young people from experiencing homelessness. We also heard just how needed this work is. Many people who visited our stall hadn’t heard of the program but said it has been needed for a long time, and were grateful to learn it’s now reaching young people across both North and South Brisbane.
Thank you to the organisers for having us at both events. We loved connecting and having meaningful conversations about creating new futures for young people đź’™
