Project Aim: The ‘Great Expectations’ Youth Mentor program provides support, through mentoring to young people in the Swan Hill Region. Thus exposing young people to other life experiences and increased opportunities that they would not otherwise be exposed to.
Testimonial: “Being able to work with an organised and professional organisation makes any project planning easier. Local Logic Place has demonstrated their ability to be flexible and creative in their approach. Its not an easy job having to communicate with such a variety of community people, young and old, and Local Logic Place made this process appear simple. The Youth Charter is just one example of how well Local Logic Place can deliver. The final product is a well documented expression of our local vision on youth and Local Logic Place did well to capture this.”

Step Out, Aspire & Reflect (SOAR) with Support Women's Leadership Program
Project Title: Step Out, Aspire & Reflect (SOAR) with Support Women's Leadership Program Client Name: Australian Women in Agriculture (AWIA) & Swan Hill Business and Professional Women
Project Timeline: July 2008-June 2009
Project Aim: The SOAR with Support Project will allow women who are not actively involved in their communities to develop personally as well as give something back to their communities especially during a time of prolonged drought. SOAR offers leadership training and experiences in a supportive, encouraging and non-threatening environment. On completion of the SOAR Program participants will have increased knowledge of community development practices, local services and supports, rural leadership opportunities and a greater overall self awareness, personal support networks, capacity and confidence. It is the aim of the consortium through the implementation of the SOAR with Support Project to continuously and progressively move the Swan Hill region along with our NSW neighbours towards a level of equality in agriculture and related industries not yet witnessed in rural or urban Australia.
Our Role: Local Logic Place has been engaged to work closely with the auspicing body: Australian Women in Agriculture and BPW. With their demonstrated experience working with women on farms, indigenous women and women from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds they are ideally placed to coordinate the SOAR Program delivery locally. Local Logic Place will support the SOAR with Support Women's Leadership Program by providing project set-up and design, creation of an evaluation framework and the overall coordination of the project, working closely with the Program Management Group to ensure their vision for the project is realised.
