Many young people in regional Tasmania experience higher levels of social and educational disengagement than in urban areas, due to factors associated with geographical isolation, low-socio-economic circumstances and challenging personal/ family situations. (Tasmania Youth at Risk Strategy 2017).
In regional areas, keeping inspired as a young person can be challenging. "I'm bored. this place is a hole, there's nothing to do... " are common responses we receive when we visit rural communities and ask girls what life is like.
Free2b offers them a space to express themselves creatively, authentically, and without judgement. Groups vary in size, energy, and atmosphere but the common themes are creativity, tolerance, respect, safety and FUN.
