Step Up Latrobe Valley Program 10 Graduation

Our team in the Latrobe Valley has been busy delivering the 10th Step Up Latrobe Valley program online (in line with Government directives). While program 10 brought with it some challenges given all elements were delivered online, our team embraced the opportunity and we had a variety of volunteers join our sessions and support with the delivery of the Ladder Development programs.

On 18th June, we had the pleasure of celebrating the 10th program graduation in the Vault Cafe, Morwell. It was a wonderful chance to meet the group, while social distancing and share all of their accomplishments. We look forward to welcoming each of these graduates into our growing group of program alumni.

In June we hit another major milestone of matching 50 program participants with Ladder mentors. Ladder sincerely thanks Bank Australia for its support of our mentoring program in the Latrobe Valley.

We're so proud of all our staff for supporting young people through the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure positive outcomes were achieved.
