RISE assisted with the PPAC Youth Summit as part of Pormpuraaw Community Development and Community Engagement working together. Youth Summits focus on the youth of the community but also helps to improve the community and other individuals. It helps build communication and trust between the adults and the children/youth.
The Youth Summit program is built on fun activities that addresses barriers and empowers individuals on a level that does not involve a classroom environment.
