Dedicated to Community & Personal Growth
Fresh Start Academy is a community-driven initiative with a core focus on early intervention. Committed to empowering young people, we utilise a strengths-based and solutions-oriented approach to vocational training. Our program offers not only practical skills but also personalised support and mentorship to foster long-term success.
Our innovative, hands-on training model delivers additional community value through our barbering and automotive services. Operating under a social enterprise framework, these services are made significantly more affordable to families within our community, furthering our mission of positive social impact.
Our Purpose
- To equip each young person with the knowledge, confidence, and opportunities they need to succeed.
- To empower them to overcome challenges and realise their full potential.
- To create and support additional training, education, and employment pathways, ensuring sustainable and measurable outcomes.
- To help them forge a clear and independent pathway towards becoming productive, thriving members of society.
