Place Based Model

Place Based Model
Youth Insearch is transitioning from a wide reaching volunteer coordination model to a focused Place-Based Model, placing a social worker in each community. Each Social Worker will embed the Youth Insearch peer-to-peer program in the local community. Youth Insearch is currently delivering the Place Based Model to the following locations through partnerships with community organisations.
