A new project aimed at building confidence among young males at risk was launched at Basketball ACT on Friday 30 April 2010.
The Harmony Players project engages 25 young males, aged 16 to 25, from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, particularly from new and emerging communities, in positive social activities.
These activities include basketball skills development with Basketball ACT to allow the young males to play in mainstream teams; social activities involving players, their families and supporters; social and basketball sessions with ACT Policing to help break down the barriers; leadership and personal development training with Scouts ACT; mentoring opportunities; and raising awareness in ACT schools to foster understanding.
Anyone interested in enrolling in the program and for further information please contact reception.
The Harmony Players Program is funded by the
Australian Government Department of
Immigration and Citizenship
