Education First Youth Foyers
Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (10:00): Last week I met with Mallee Family Care CEO Teresa Jayet to discuss their Education First Youth Foyer project. Education First Youth Foyers offer stable, affordable housing to support young people who wish to study and are unable to live at home. This could mean completing their final years of secondary school or undertaking an apprenticeship or a TAFE or university course. Teresa says it is critical that the next foyer is built in Mildura, so I urge the government to back their application for this centre and change the lives of so many young people in Mildura and surrounding districts.
