As part of YO Bendigo's Level Up project, YO Connect provides opportunities for young people to connect with their peers, build meaningful relationships and networks and increase their confidence to support them to connect with employment, education and community. 

To find out more about the project and eligibility, check out the Level-Up webpage! 

Are you a young person aged 12 - 18? Unsure of your future at school or in the workplace? Join the YO Connect program to enjoy a range of amazing opportunities to make new friends, connect with the community, make meaningful connections and grow your confidence!

YO Bendigo will review all referrals (including self-referrals) to ensure the program is right for you and then we'll get in contact with you. From there, we'll send you invitations to all opportunities delivered through the program that we think you'll be interested in. You can choose how many opportunities you sign up for - for some this might be a one-off specific activity, for others, they may want to get involved in an ongoing capacity or participate in a longer-term opportunity such as becoming a Youth Facilitator. YO Skills participants will also be invited to participate in other activities delivered through the YO Connect and other YO Bendigo programs!
