1:1 Positive Pathways
The 1:1 Positive Pathways program aims to foster positive life choices and relationships for young people.
Originally developed by Bendigo Blue Light, our 1:1 Positive Pathways program, targets young people aged 10-17 who are involved in, or at risk of involvement in the youth justice system, including criminal offending, antisocial behaviour or as victims of crime.
The program involves a community mentor or positive role model (police/emergency services staff), eight structured individual gym sessions over 4 weeks with a dedicated fitness instructor supported by a Blue Light Victoria youth worker.
Following completion of the program, participants have access to weekly drop-in gym classes.
The program is currently available in Bendigo and will be available in Traralgon and Melton in 2025.
