Havoc
Overview
RISK-TAKER. BOUNDARY-PUSHER. LEADER.
Havoc is a free two-part workshop for 13 – 17 year-olds in the Frankston area who are boundary pushers and risk takers; or those that have been labelled as “disengaged” or “at-risk”.
While every young person has inherent strengths, not every young person recognises these traits for themselves. Havoc allows participants to express themselves honestly, unfiltered, without judgement, creating meaningful connections with each other and positive role models. Havoc provides a safe space for participants to challenge stereotypes and to explore their relationship with boundaries and authority. The program empowers participants to understand their strengths and develop pathways to achieve their goals in a unique youth-led environment.
