Support for the next stage, not another classroom

Familiar people who build confidence one step at a time

More life beyond school and the family home

What may be happening right now

When school finishes, the structure changes. Life does not have to get smaller.

For years, school has offered somewhere to go, familiar routines, people who know them, friends, activities and help working out what comes next. Finishing can be exciting, and it can leave a young person and their family wondering what adult life looks like now.

Practical skills at home are one part of building the next stage of life.

What Crew support can actually look like

What could the next part of life actually look like?

Not another classroom. Not an unrealistic version of independence. Real experiences, useful support and time to find out what matters to the young person.

Getting around

Confidence grows one familiar trip at a time.

  • Planning a journey
  • Using buses or trains safely
  • Learning routes to work, TAFE, the gym, shops or friends

Work, learning & volunteering

A chance to explore interests and build real-world confidence.

  • Trying work experience
  • Finding volunteering opportunities
  • Practising workplace routines and communication

Everyday life skills

The practical things that make adult life feel more possible.

  • Shopping and planning meals
  • Cooking, washing and keeping a room or home in order
  • Appointments, weekly routines and basic budgeting

Friends, interests & the fun stuff

There should be things in the diary that feel worth looking forward to.

  • Gym, sport, gaming, cafés and hobbies
  • Meeting people and trying new activities
  • Happy Dayz and Venture Dayz

School finishing does not mean life gets smaller. It is where the next part starts.

We want to find out what a good adult life looks like for this person and start building towards it, one real-world experience at a time.
