Mountain Track Youth

Mountain Track is a long-term youth intervention program for young people doing it tough in the Latrobe

Valley Area.

Mountain Track Youth exist to transform lives in the Latrobe Valley Area. We are targeting this cohort in this region, as this is one of the most socio-economic disadvantaged LGAs in the state. The social enterprise allows our young people a soft introduction to the world of work. It allows them to build their capacity, their skills, and their knowledge. It allows them to gain hands on experience and understand the rigors of employment before exposing them to real work conditions.

2024 Pitch

Funds Raised: $44,050

Laura and David pitched for funds to buy a second hand excavator. The excavator will allow them to significantly expand their social enterprise offerings and generate their own income allowing them to bring more severely marginalised and traumatised young people into the program.

It will also allow them to train our young people to become excavator driver and that would get them into well paid work anywhere in the country.
