Our Aims
The FOOTBALL VICTORIA - EMPOWERING LIVES
THROUGH FOOTBALL program is designed to
target early intervention, to support and engage
30-40 male and female young people who are at
risk of offending, or are already displaying
behaviours that may limit their ability achieve
positive life outcomes.
Specifically the program aims to…
• Provide and help instil protective responses that
young people can use to address risk factors
for offending
• Provide additional support to at-risk young
people during COVID-19, and as communities
recover from the disruption of COVID-19.
• Identify and refer at-risk young people to
on-going services and support, as needed,
and support young people to engage in these
services
• Increase school attendance, and family
connectivity
• Support individuals to build a greater sense of
belonging, self-confidence, and social skills.
