Trek’s Professional Open Day in pictures

A non-profit organisation, Trek based in Olinda hosted its annual Professional Open Day on Thursday, 6 November, to give local educators the opportunity to see its unique programs and therapeutic farm that supports vulnerable young people.

There were two separate sessions, one in the morning, which started at 10.30am and an afternoon session starting at 1.30pm.

The tours featured the organisation’s therapeutic farm and programs which’s set to help children, teens, and families grow, connect, and thrive.

Founder and chief executive officer Meg Yates said their mission is to help children build a sense of safety, connection, and resilience.

“Every child and young person that comes through the gate and trusts us, in and of itself, is enormous,” she said.
