R.U.S.H. Haven Inc focuses on providing innovative, quality programs for youth, working within frameworks of adventure, healing, experiential learning and cultural challenges.
We wish to work towards the implementation of community development, creating substantial network partnerships focusing on awareness of our youth and community and the programs we deliver to make a difference.
R.U.S.H’s principal aim is to provide a means of self healing, personal growth and development in a safe and challenging environment resulting in the relief of health issues, depression, distress, misfortune or helplessness amongst marginalised youth. In this sense, marginalised youth are defined as youth of today. In our communities, one might be forgiven for saying that youth today are marginalised regardless of background. We wish to transcend such thought, creating exciting and well researched programs to support our youth and environment, empowering such youth to develop their potential.
R.U.S.H works through psychologically, spiritually and experientially based adventure/work/activities designed to develop the self-awareness, team building skills, self-esteem, communication, health, living and living skills of youth. These programs will aim to have measurable behavioural changes. Through program participation, and teaching of living and work skills, we aim to alleviate social alienation, empower young people to change negative cycles, disease and behaviours, and develop the skills necessary to integrate fully, happily and independently into society. |
