We have invested in what we consider one of our most significant advancements during our almost 8 decades of business. Through this same prism of collective courage | commitment | care that has been the cornerstone of the CRG principles, we opened in 2018 an Academy on behalf of tens of thousands disengaged young adults.
Our family established Youthinc in 2006 and after the first 10 years of delivering employment programs for disadvantaged youth we believed that adding the capacity to deliver accredited South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications was a natural and evolution extension of our footprint.
Youth Inc commenced in January 2018 a Special Assistance School that provides the basis of a new and sustainable business model. Delivering a new style, learning model from a purpose-designed ‘enterprise studio’ located in the heart of the Adelaide CBD. The school design is deliberately different. And we are doing this for the simple reason that some young people do not thrive in a conventional or mainstream school setting.
The Youth Inc. Enterprise Academy is a fully registered, independent senior secondary Special Assistance School. We don’t do subjects, or classes, or even classrooms. We do projects and ventures – infused by a strong focus on positive mental health, resilience and wellbeing.
Youth.Inc is a great privilege to have established and supported. We want to continue to develop and encourage capacities to evolve and explore what is possible. Keep doing things that we’re a little not ready to do. It’s how we do things.
