Anne Mitchell: Steps Outreach Service and Rotary Central Melbourne working together for over 24 years.

This presentation will highlight the work of Steps Outreach Service, success stories about the recipients of the Scholarship program, and the support received from Rotary Central Melbourne for over 24 years.

Anne Mitchell is the manager of Steps Outreach Service. She has worked for Steps for the last 24 years, providing outreach and support to young people and families experiencing homelessness. Prior to this, Anne was a primary school teacher and Welfare Coordinator at a primary school. She has postgraduate qualifications in Student Welfare and Alcohol and Other Drugs.

Anne is passionate about supporting young people and families experiencing homelessness and disadvantage and helping them to have positive futures.

Steps Outreach Service is the youth homelessness program of Concern Australia. Since 1985, a Steps’ team of workers and volunteers has provided street outreach in the city at night-time to young people and families with children who are experiencing, have experienced, or are at risk of homelessness. This support is followed up during the daytime with holistic outreach and support. Steps’ workers and volunteers demonstrate to the young people that they believe in them and have hope for their future. They empower the young people to develop and work towards their goals and dreams.
