The Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation has been running a youth development program since 1986. The program is both physically and emotionally challenging. It is designed to help young people reach their personal potential through the development of social confidence and relationship skills in 4 broad areas.
1. The concept of self 2. Communication skills 3. Teamwork 4. A sense of community
The benefits of the program directly impact the individual's peers, their school, family and community. These benefits are transferable as young people phase into adulthood as future employees and as responsible citizens in our communities.
