A highly successful Queensland Police Service initiative aimed at helping curb youth crime through early intervention and education has today launched on the Sunshine Coast for the first time.
Project Booyah is a multi-agency initiative targeting ‘at risk’ youth who are involved with criminal/ anti-social behaviour, substance abuse or disengagement from school and works towards giving them skills for life and employability through police mentoring, leadership, adventure-based learning and vocational pathways.
Police Minister Mark Ryan said the launch of Project Booyah on the Sunshine Coast would provide troubled youths with a life-changing opportunity.
Mr Ryan says wherever Project Booyah operates across Queensland tremendous results are being seen.
