PIVOT

This is a youth crime prevention program that supports young people between 10-23 years who have had repeated contact with the justice system as serious or recidivist offenders. PIVOT helps young people to learn new skills, reconnect with education or access employment, build relationships and generate meaningful connections within the community. Participants join this program voluntarily. We work with them for 12 months to address the underlying causes of their offending behaviour through case management, tailored support plans and mentoring to link them and their families into prosocial activities that address criminogenic needs. PIVOT provides young people a space where they can actually have their say, personalising the support to their unique needs, circumstances and goals. TaskForce runs the PIVOT program in Frankston, Dandenong and Casey as part of the YSAS-led consortium
