Our Story
ABOUT
Down The Track is an innovative and lifesaving program for young people based in the remote communities of Lake Cargelligo and Murrin Bridge in Central West, NSW.
We work with disengaged and marginalised young people between the ages of 10 and 20.
We promote engagement, improved self-esteem and reduce young people crime by providing training, education, employment pathways and community connection.
Without the support of Down The Track, our young people are on a downward spiral of continual disengagement from their communities and positive life opportunities.
