Community Program Coordinator - Learner Driver

Broncos in the Community

Beyond their success as a professional football club, the Brisbane Broncos are dedicated to enhancing opportunities for disadvantaged youth and making a positive contribution to improving social equality between First Australian Peoples and other Australians.
  
Through the delivery of one of their community programs, the Learner Driver program sees the Broncos partnering with the State Government to remove an important barrier for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth by getting them on the road, assisted by a mentor and logging more hours towards getting their license. This in turn assists them in applying for better employment opportunities.
