DASH
Dynamic, Active, Safe
DASH is an energetic, hands-on program designed for Grade 5 & 6 students to build confidence, connection and leadership. Led by our expert facilitators and supported by police, emergency services and community partners, DASH empowers students to find their voice and make a real impact.
The highlight of DASH is its student-led community project — where students identify and advocate for an issue they care about and bring it to life with project funding and community support. Past projects have included welcome packs for new students, projects to address local environmental issues and campaigns to address food insecurity at a local level.
By blending teamwork, advocacy and leadership, DASH develops confident young changemakers while strengthening community pride and connection. Schools benefit from engaged students, stronger peer relationships, and a tangible project that leaves a lasting legacy.
As a school, you can opt for either a whole of classroom program or a program tailored to a specific cohort of students, enabling flexibility to select students who will benefit most.
Impact and Evaluation
At BLV, our programs are supported by formal evaluation processes that measure their impact and effectiveness. Evaluation is more than just reporting outcomes—it ensures we are delivering meaningful experiences that genuinely benefit young people. By collecting data, feedback, and evidence of change, we can continuously improve our programs, demonstrate accountability to our partners and supporters, and most importantly, ensure that every young person we engage is given the best possible opportunity to thrive.
Get in touch with us today and we will send you all the details you need to bring our programs to your school.
