Upton Road Youth Services: How gardening is transforming young lives

One of the many goals of The Salvation Army Youth Services Upton Road program (Vic.) is to provide a beautiful space and low-pressure environment for young people to thrive. The refuge offers gardening activities that allow participants who have experienced homelessness to learn new skills, build confidence and connect with the community. The program not only enhances their wellbeing but also supports them in achieving sustainable housing and a brighter future.
