Blue EDGE (Educate, Develop, Grow, Empower) is a program of physical training designed to extend a young person’s mind and physical capability. The program also includes career education, motivational speakers and mentoring with a view to having youth actualise their potential.
The program runs for eight weeks, with two training sessions per week on a Tuesday and Thursday in Term 1 2024 to build routine. It finishes after the 8th week with a graduation day named ‘The Final EDGE’. During The Final EDGE, each young person will engage in physical activities as an individual and as a team member, and celebrate their completion of the program.
Program outcomes include the development of personal relationships and building of rapport between Police, QBLAI Volunteers, participants and their families.
The intention of the program is to grow and develop the skills and attitudes young people need to take part in society, now and in the future. We believe that interacting with young people will encourage participants to be receptive to good guidance and have respect and trust in the police as they mature.
We believe that the interaction between young people, the Police and Blue Light is making a positive and sustainable difference in people’s lives
