Reconnect Now hopes to provide helpful links to useful programs and services, including by sharing valuable and informative links that are already publicly available.
This platform has been established to assist former participants of the Reconnect Program conducted by Kids Off The Kerb in Victoria between 2021 and 2025 to continue their pathways into education, training and work.
And we hope it may be useful to others as well!
Kids Off The Kerb is still developing and building the Reconnect Now resource and we would really like to hear your suggestions as to what sort of links or topics that you think would be most useful.
Please email us your suggestions to: reconnect@kidsoffthekerb.org
We are also looking at developing some e-Learning options – so watch this space.
Best wishes
Kids Off The Kerb
