Youth Program - Support Worker

Open House CIC
Logo for Open House CIC

Open House is a small Christian charity organisation that has been serving the community for over 50 years. As a not for profit organisation, we depend on volunteers to help us in the delivery of our services.

We seek volunteers who are kind and caring and committed to our mission of giving long-term friendship and support to young people and adults in our community, particularly those who are disadvantaged or socially isolated.

The Youth Program

This Program is designed for young people who are secondary school age, and involves a great variety of hands-on work in crafts, woodwork, mechanics, building, engineering, outings and other areas. All activities are supervised by skilled team members and volunteers. Many young people that ‘graduate’ from this Program go on to apprenticeships or employment.

We focus on four key pillars to support young people in acquiring the tools and skills necessary to successfully navigate through life, the education system and beyond.

  1. General life skills
  2. Connectedness to community
  3. Mentoring
  4. Fun activities

  • Understanding, patience, and perseverance
