Labor Will Help More Kids Kick Goals With The Huddle
Every kid deserves a place to belong and someone in their corner.
That's why a re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $2.9 million to expand The Huddle at North Melbourne Football Club.
The Huddle runs free programs to engage, support and empower young people to connect with mates, learn new skills and get ahead.
From homework help, career workshops and all sports, The Huddle gives local kids a helping hand.
Labor’s investment will deliver bigger and better community spaces at Arden Street.
That means more room for sport, mentoring and education programs.
The expansion is expected to double the number of participants from 5,000 to 10,000.
For 15 years, The Huddle has supported local young people, particularly those from multicultural backgrounds and families living in social housing.
We want to make sure local kids aren't left on the sidelines.
A Liberal-One Nation Coalition Government will make $40 billion in cuts, putting programs like this at risk.
