The overall aim of the Place Based model of community engagement has been to assist individuals and local organisations develop skills that will support economic and social regeneration within their own community. The individual projects embedded within this model have a particular emphasis on social enterprise and building community capability and productivity. This capability has been built through the establishment of a framework where individuals can access education in an inclusive and supportive learning environment and participate in work experiences that are purposeful and enrich the social fabric of their communities.
These individual projects include:
Coffs Harbour Teen Mums Mentoring Project. (Partnerships with TAFE Outreach; Uniting Care Burnside)
