Morgans in the community

TRACTION deliver evidence-informed, hands-on learning and mentoring programs, to help young people engage in education and build the resilience and skills they need to thrive. They partner with schools and other referral agencies to get young people learning ‘on the tools’, in the workshop, alongside our trained mentors.

Sometimes young people need extra support to reach their potential, and TRACTION’s safe and supportive environment provides the boost they need towards a positive future.

The goal is to create a friendly, relaxed environment offering self-catering respite accommodation free of charge for any active or former member of the ADF and their families who need a space to reset, reconnect with family, and reintegrate into society. This welcoming environment encourages return visits whenever needed, fostering social inclusion and rebuilding connections with loved ones and mates. The aim is to reduce social isolation, alleviate family stress caused by isolation, and address feelings of worthlessness within the community. Programs such as working bees provide meaningful missions or tasks, promoting long- and short-term goal-setting and fostering connections between those in need and those who can assist, in collaboration with like-minded ESOs.
