Community Sports and Wellbeing Program
Our Community Sports and Wellbeing Program is an initiative that helps implement sports and wellbeing programs for the CALD communities involving young people; young adults also targeting mothers. By promoting health and wellbeing, the program combines sports, fitness, and wellbeing workshops to promote resilience, employment workshops, inclusion, and empowerment among youth, women, and broader community members. Through accessible activities and safe spaces, the program aims to strengthen community bonds and address mental health challenges such as stress, grief, and social isolation. The program will provide structured sessions, community events and give opportunities for participants to compete in friendly games and tournaments.
Our sports program allows young people to prioritise their wellbeing and build strong community connections. Our young people are vibrant, bright world changers, and we wanted to end 2025 celebrating them. At our End-of-Year Youth Day Celebration, we facilitated fun, engaging activities for participants. These activities included bowling, laser tag, and discussion on how to regulate and manage complex emotions as a young person during challenging times.
We’re passionate about creating community, and so are our young people. We want to equip them with opportunities to build the resilience, tenacity and creativity for effective community impact.
For us, building community means showing up and going the extra mile for those who need it. At our Youth Day, we asked our brilliant young people what community meant to them. Here’s what they said:
