koori_connect

An innovative programme engaging Aboriginal young people in a range of cultural activities and events aimed at improving community connection, school retention and providing vocational learning opportunities. 

What's been going on

Koori Connect and all of youthconnections.com.au joined together on 26th May to recognise National Sorry Day for 2010.

We gathered to create a greater awareness about the injustices shown to Aboriginal Australians and how together, we can achieve change among all Australians, today and tomorrow.

"Reconciliation is about forming mutual relationships. It’s about working together and accepting everyone for who they are," said staff member and Djabungandji and Western Kuku Yalanji Man Joey Grauner. 


“You can’t change everybody; you have to start with yourself,” said staff member and Wiradjuri Woman Kylie Cassidy.


youthconnections.com.au would like to acknowledge the members of the Stolen Generations; their families and communities who still live with brokenness and for what you have lost that can not be replaced. We are truly sorry.
