About this Event
ABOUT IGNITE
Ignite is a 2-day 4-hour program for any young person between the ages of 13-17. This program will be full of opportunities for participants to challenge themselves and step out of their comfort zones and into an environment that fosters exploration growth and inspiration.
Ignite encourages all young people to feel empowered, gain self-confidence, strengthen their resilience and gain a better understanding of themselves and those around them. Each young person will have an opportunity to explore their potential and will leave feeling connected and supported.

What to Expect at a Reach Workshop
Reach workshops are safe and supportive spaces where young people can connect and share stories honestly; spaces where they can push their comfort zones, experience belonging, discover their strengths, and build their self-efficacy and resilience. It is our experience that when young people discover and work to accept who they truly are, they are able to develop a greater sense of confidence and purpose in life. Ignite is designed to respond to the specific needs of teenage participants in the program. Workshops provide opportunities for participation in interactive youth-led discussions and activities that encompass the kind of issues that all young people face.
Cost: $159
* Financial support: We have subsided places available. If cost is a barrier to you/your young person attending, please email Ali to arrange a subsided place.
