Driving Program Coming
Twelve25 is currently working with a group of local service providers and supporters locally to develop and implement a Youth Getting Your P’s program.
The program will support a limited number of young people who don’t have a car at home, or a licensed driver and who otherwise cant afford driving lessons to get in car experience (for the log book method).
While expressions of interest are not yet being taken to volunteer with this program if you are very keen email Rick at rhenke@salisbury.sa.gov.au
New Twelve25 volunteer AJ (Adrian Eley) has accepted the challenge to help develop this program as a Volunteer Team Leader.
Watch this space for more information.
