Working Toward a Brighter Future

Ngarnarna warrkamaku Kariyarra tharntula Ngurra. Palumaru Kariyarra-ngarli ngurrara karrangu. Ngarnarna kurnta-ngarni parniku wapa manyjangu-ngarli wanthangali-nha wangka Kariyarra-la.

We acknowledge the Kariyarra people as the traditional custodians of the land where we work. We pay our respects to them and their Elders past, present, and emerging. We extend this respect to all First Australians and recognise their rich cultures and their continuing connection to land and waters.

Karlyarti

Julyardi has partnered with WA Dept. of Communities to deliver the Target-120 Program. The program supports young people in the community between the ages of 10 and 14 years who have had contact with Police.
Karlyarti provides wraparound services to these young people and their families. The goal of the program is to engage young people in positive activities and work toward future goals to reduce further contact with the justice system.
