Social and Economic Development Service (SEDS)
Social and Economic Development Services (SEDS) aim to improve opportunities for young people (aged 12 to 25) who have limited participation in the social, cultural, and economic life of the community.
Funds are provided to help achieve the following four program outcomes:
- Young people have a sense of belonging and a ‘stake’ in the place in which they live.
- Communities plan, develop, and deliver effective responses to the needs of young people.
- Young people develop social and personal skills for independent and successful community living.
- Young people are assisted in the transition towards economic independence.
Example activities that SED services undertake include community education with young people, social and personal development activities, independent living skills development, job search skills, and cultural group development.
