YOUTH SERVICES For the second year in a row YWCA’s Youth Services received an award at the City of Tea Tree Gully’s Youth and School Industry Awards, taking out the top agency prize for Leadership in Collaboration. YWCA also sponsored an award, the YWCA Leadership Award, which went to Lia Lawrie for her outstanding leadership in both her personal life and her community. YWCA Youth Services introduced a new Senior Practitioner role in 2013/2014 to further develop the meaningful and outcome focussed interventions to assist young people to reach their full potential. We welcomed Paula Rowe into this position and she has brought with her a splash of colour and some rock and roll! Thanks to the Youth Services team consisting of Paula, Fiona Mulholland and Bryony Gibson for their amazing work this year. YWCA’s Youth Services is funded by the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion through the Family and Community Development program.
