RuffTRACK Open day
RuffTRACK is as program for disengaged youth in the Western Sydney region, based near Londonderry on the outskirts of Sydney.
Based on the model of BackTrack Youth Works, they take on young people aged 11-17 years who have disengaged with school and the community to provide them skills, an education and a sense of self-worth with the goal of reconnecting them with their community.
Founded in late 2019 RuffTRACK’s goal is to harness the talents of the young participants, who choose to make a change in their lives and reach their full potential. They aim to empower these young people by helping them establish trust and bonds with the help from the amazing dogs who call RuffTRACK farm home.
7 rescue Kelpies, 2 donated stud Kelpies, Bruce the NSW Blues Mascot, Wilbert the Dashie and a Labradoodle Therapy dog named Henry! And a multitude of Guinea pigs, Alpacas, Chickens and Sheep!
Until recently RuffTRACK was located on a farm on Windsor Rd in Riverstone, however due to urban sprawl has just relocated to a new farm in Londonderry!
RuffTRACK are excited to show the public what it is they do each and every day that sets the young people on a path of success. They are inviting the public to attend an Open Day on Saturday 8th June between 11am and 1pm. There will be Sheep Herding, Dog High Jump, a FREE BBQ plus coffee and milk shakes from the Youth Led RuffTRACK Coffee Cart plus more.
