RYDE – Investing in our Youth

Shared with permission from Brunswick CRC

Sometimes life can be a challenge but there are

always those who go out of their way to make a

difference, to make those challenges a little eas-

ier and to help individuals achieve their goals.

Take the Regional Youth Drive Education (RYDE)

Program as an example. An initiative to help busy

regional families help their teens to get their li-

cense. We all know that to be independent it helps

to have a license, especially where public transport

is nil or limited. Having a license also helps with

securing employment.

We all want to feel safe on the road so the more

experience and confidence our “Learner” drivers

get, the more we can all feel a little more assured

that our children, our parents, our families and our

friends are all safe on the road.

Here in our little Regional patch, Janine Quicke

from the Harvey Local Drug Action Group has

started the conversation with Ian Anstee from In-

vesting in Our Youth Inc. to start implementing the

RYDE program in the Harvey area. If you would

like to help Janine with this initiative, she would

love to hear from you: [email protected] or call

0438 291 963.

If you’re struggling to help your young person

achieve their 50 hours, contact the South West

RYDE program.

South West RYDE Program Manager—0419 730

55/[email protected].

Who is RYDE for?

The RYDE program helps young people who live in

the South West who are experiencing barriers in

completing their compulsory 50 log-book hours.

The RYDE sessions are about gaining experience

and improving skill rather than the initial stage of

“learning to drive”.

Are you eligible?

16 to 25 Years old

Have a Learner’s permit?

Don’t have access to a suitable vehicle?

Don’t have someone with 4 years’ experience to ac-

company you?
