Resilience Training

Our Resilience Training has been piloted over five years, with five intakes of students, graduating 100 youth per year.

The programs teaches a blend of personal development and technical permaculture training with low-cost resilience techniques, and equips individuals with hard and soft skills that promote greater levels of self-knowledge and behaviour change. 

The results are higher levels of personal resilience and wellbeing.

We welcome your application to become part of the solution and look forward to meeting you.
