Spread the love. Support vulnerable youth with StreetWork. Your donation helps remove barriers & change lives. Give today on our website.
Whether you believe in Cupid or not, giving to support vulnerable young people living in your local community will nourish your heart with the happiness that comes from doing something good! Our young people are masking their trauma - neglect, abuse, bullying, poverty - with risk-taking behaviours. Streetwork's professional youth caseworkers remove the hurdles that are stopping some of Sydney's most vulnerable youth from thriving. Please support a young person who is doing it tough by donating here https://www.streetwork.org.au.

StreetWork staff refreshed their CPR training. Staying prepared saves lives - CPR doubles survival chances in emergencies. A skill worth learning.
At Streetwork it's mandatory for staff to have their CPR training refreshed every year and after completing the online training modules and then practicing our technique, we are all now up to date.
Why is CPR training important? The majority of sudden cardiac arrests occur outside of hospital so medical staff aren't at hand to take responsibility. Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on someone who has suffered an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest can double the chance of the person surviving, so resuscitation is a skill worth learning.

StreetWork mentors empower youth by nurturing their passions! Watch a young person's creative zombie video, made with support from Casual Films.
One of the first things our Streetwork youth caseworkers do when a vulnerable young person joins our mentoring program is to find out their interests or hobbies. It might be graffiti art, rap music, songwriting, photography, or movies. The trick is finding it. Once you validate a young person's interest you can start to speak their language and let them know you care about them as a unique person.
We recently had a young person who was interested in video content production. Our talented agency - Casual Films - supported him (and his talented Zombie youth caseworker!) - to create and edit this video.
