Practical strategies for working with young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds.

Our Culturally Responsive Youth Practice training is suitable for anyone working with multicultural young people, their families and communities. Previous participants have included librarians, coaches, committees, case managers, youth workers, social workers, volunteers and other front-line staff as well as managers.

At CMY, our mission is to create a society where multicultural young people live a life where they are connected and can fully reach their potential. We provide professional development for practitioners across a range of sectors, including government, local councils, business, libraries, education, health, welfare, justice, and sports and recreation.

Our public sessions are offered at a discounted rate to enable more organisations or individuals who may otherwise not be able to attend our group training programs. We believe that anyone who works with young people from migrant or refugee backgrounds should be able to access high-quality training without financial barriers.
