Working Together Program
The Working Together Program is a program implemented by Wyndham City Council Youth Services to provide young people with the opportunity to develop confidence, leadership and team building skills, through an outdoor adventure challenge.
The program aims to provide young people with the opportunity to develop confidence, leadership and team building skills through participation in a high ropes outdoor adventure challenge and follow-up discussion.
Throughout the day, young people will be encouraged to face their fears, to recognise their own worth, to identify their own potential and to appreciate the worth of others.
