The Oztry objectives

Oztry Youth Assist is pleased to introduce to Australia the ” WhyTry” social and emotional life skills program for students and young adults. We are committed to assist, motivate and empower Australians to decide to utilize their innate potential to be creative, confident, caring and contributing citizens.

Our objectives are:

  • To promote and facilitate character building and life skills programs which empower people to achieve more self-respect, personal freedom of choice, and to access more opportunity in life
  • Reduce truancy and school drop out rates
  • Reduce youth despair and despondency
  • Encourage youth not to give up easily but to exert effort and get back on track towards more self-respect, freedom and opportunity.

Youth service professionals can more effectively help and engage at-risk youth or any young person with low self-esteem and an inability to recognise that they have the potential to make a difference in society. WhyTry is a practical parenting program for parents to meaningfully engage their children.
