Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets

Father Chris Riley' s book launch  in 2005

Shine Day launch in 2005

Eden Gardens is working with YOTS to support chronically homeless and drug addicted young Australians as they work to turn their lives around through education, development of living skills and employment. Eden Gardens offers these deserving youth the opportunity of excursions, work experience, traineeships and apprenticeships at Eden Gardens. Eden staff are the mentors to support this Eden Youth program.

Together, Eden Gardens and YOTS, have created a template for community business partnerships and actively encourage other businesses to follow. Eden “Enviro corporate days” are on opportunity for YOTS and their corporate sponsors to learn about each other, the environment and for team building. Eden Gardens supports fund raising events including Shine Day and provides facilities for fund raising occasions.

"Eden Gardens and Youth Off the Streets have a working relationship that shows Eden Gardens is making their community mission real and relevant. Through this partnership Eden Gardens has embraced some of the most marginalised youth in our country. It is both a business and humanitarian relationship that hopefully others will follow".
