9^% of graduates are positively engaged in education or employment two years after graduating from the program.
Each year Youth Opportunities works with around 600 young people across South Australia. By applying what they learn through our Personal Leadership Program, young people are not only positively changing their own lives, they are also helping to influence those around them and bring about positive cultural change within their schools and the wider community.
To date over 10,000 young people have benefited from our Personal Leadership Training and both internal and independent research shows immediate and long term impacts.
Throughout our face-to-face Personal Leadership Program students provide information about themselves and complete a series of self-report wellbeing questionnaires and measures at the beginning, middle and end of the program.
