Education Engagement

ICYS has delivered Education and Support to schools within the Ipswich and surrounding regions since 1997, supporting young people most at risk of disengaging (and those who are newly disengaged) from formal education to address barriers to engagement.


Youth Support Coordinators provide regular on-site service delivery within designated educational institutions in addition to providing outreach to students and their communities through individual case management, group work and community projects.
