FOUR members of the Nambucca Valley Evening Branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) paid a special visit to ShoreTrack to experience firsthand the inspiring work being done with local youth.
CWA members Jenny Boys, June Rossington, Julia Sweeney and Marg Duffus were warmly welcomed at the ShoreTrack facility, where they took part in a guided tour and observed the daily operations of the organisation, which is known for its impactful programs aimed at empowering young people through hands-on learning, mentoring and support.
The morning began with a group “Circle” session, a key part of ShoreTrack’s routine.
Participants, both youth and staff, gathered together to check in and rate how they were feeling out of 10, creating a supportive and open environment to start the day.
Following the Circle, the young participants each conducted a safety briefing for their respective work teams before heading off to begin their tasks for the day.
The CWA visitors then enjoyed a delicious morning tea featuring fresh muffins, fruit, and a well-earned cuppa, while having the opportunity to chat with ShoreTrack staff and learn more about the program’s goals and achievements.
All four members expressed their admiration for the warm, respectful atmosphere and the confidence and capability being fostered in the young people attending ShoreTrack.
ShoreTrack continues to be an inspiring example of grassroots commitment to youth development, and the CWA’s visit was a reminder of the importance of celebrating and supporting such efforts in our region.
