Escare IncEscare Youth Service
ESCARE runs a part-time Youth Service that offers information, referrals, advocacy, one to one assistance and recreational activities to young 'at risk' people, aged between 12- 18 years, in the Esperance.
Escare Youth Service also works closely with other services assisting Esperance youth.
Recent Recreational Activities
Young people have been involved in various activities including;
- In January 2009, Esperance Surfing Academy. Sponsored by Youth Development Holiday Program; Department for Communities.
- In October, a group of young Women learnt new skills when they spent time learning about local indigenous culture with the local indigenous tourism organisation; Kepa Kurl. During this time trust games were played and the group later spent time expressing their feeling and what they enjoyed from the excursion onto canvas with paints. Thanks to the Esperance Shire for supporting this project.
- Currently a group of young women are enjoying a weekly art group in conjunction with ACT BELONG COMMIT and Community Arts where various art and crafts are being made.
- Movies night (to find out what activities they are interested in)
- A 'Scrap' evening was held where young people scraped together an album of a camp they participated in, this strengthen relationships between the new youth worker and with each other.
Other activities during school holidays have included Pottery workshops and visits to Cape Le Grand.
