Each year, Open Family Australia takes a group of young people down to Victoria's Surf Coast for its annual Go Ride a Wave day. Young people from a variety of backgrounds and ethnicity, participate in a day which includes surf lessons, sun smart safety and a chance to ride the waves!
Sponsored by Go Ride a Wave in Torquay, the event makes a young group of people feel very special.
"To see the smile on a young person's face as they get up on that surfboard, makes you feel like a million dollars. Especially if that young person has never had the chance to enjoy the surf before or even for some never seen a beach before!"
Nick, Outreach worker
The City of Frankston has a new community outreach program to combat the rise in youth homelessness, crime and alcohol and drug related abuse for troubled youth in the region. A development committee made up of concerned local business owners approached Open Family Australia in 2008 to establish the program to assist at-risk and homeless youth aged 12-25 in Frankston.
