The Youth Enterprises Partnership (YEP) Project, funded by the Queensland Government's Department of Communities, is managed by SVA.
The project is designed to fund the establishment of two social enterprises in Brisbane and Townsville that specifically target young people aged between 15 and 18 who have either recently entered the youth justice system and are at risk of reoffending or are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless.
The two selected social enterprises will be primarily focused on providing employment opportunities for young people via an intermediary labour market approach.
The project will support two different social enterprises, one in Brisbane and the other in Townsville, which can be at different stages of growth. Existing social enterprises that have evidence of creating sustainable employment opportunities for young people, as well as enterprises in the start-up phase, are eligible for support.
