We’re proud to offer a wide range of programs and events designed to support, empower, and connect young people, families, and the wider community.
VPYA is proud to be a sponsor with The Work and Development Permit (WDP) Scheme,
which is a new initiative to help people who are experiencing difficulty paying court fines due to hardship. Under a WDP, eligible people can apply to complete approved activities under the supervision of a sponsor, in place of paying the amount owed
