JCP Youth’s “Beast Program”
The Soggy Bottom team is proud to support JCP Youth’s continuing work of running their “Beast Program” which challenges and develops at-risk and vulnerable young people who contribute to achieving JCP’s goal of creating future young leaders for the world.
JCP Youth is a Tasmanian based organisation, working with young people on a national scale. They have a core focus on delivering programs for at-risk and vulnerable young people. All program delivery models are based around youth leadership. Believing that every young person has the potential to be a leader in our community they provide skills in leadership to young people our society has forgotten.
JCP Youth self fund the majority of their work through the paid delivery of youth leadership seminars in schools and business / corporate events. This self funding model allows them to continue their dedication to working with young people who are at risk and in need of assistance in developing their motivation and leadership capability.
JCP Youth are continuing to add to their self-funding through support by community minded programs such as those run by Rotary.
Diabetes Camps for Kids
The Soggy Bottom team is proud to help Diabetes Australia in Tasmania run day activities for young people living with the challenges of Type 1 Diabetes and also to assist them to attend these events, particularly those who may not have had the opportunity because of their family’s financial circumstances.
As part of Diabetes Australia in Tasmania’s Youth Program they provide age specific day activities especially designed for children with type 1 diabetes. The focus for each day activity is companionship, support, education and fun. Day activities are held for children and their families, from 5 to 14 years of age. A team of health professionals including credentialled diabetes educators and dietitians coordinate each of the day activities.
Everyone at the day activities understands about living with diabetes, and no one lets that get in the way of having fun, getting active, having a go at some adventure activities as well as having time to chill out and chat with new and old friends.
