Our Work

The O’Sullivan Centre initiates projects that seek to assist people who are disadvantaged in the labour market to develop skills and opportunities that will enhance their social and economic participation.

These projects include producing a Resource Kit for Community Service Organisations, developing homework clubs and recreation programs for refugee young people, mentoring programs for unemployed young people and providing training for mentors and youth workers. Read more…
