3 Missions: ABM project for February Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth Engagement Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people account for less than three percent of Australia s population but they make up more than half of all children in juvenile detention. In 2016, the mistreatment of youth detainees at Darwin s Don Dale Juvenile Detention Centre was revealed. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican Council (NATSIAC) has called for more support for our nation s children to prevent them from ever getting into the prison system. In the Northern Territory, churches are praying and struggling for answers. The Diocesan Ministry Development Team is committed to working alongside current and emerging leaders in remote communities to equip the Church for ministering with children and youth. Gatherings, like workshops, allow participants to learn from one another and share their successes across the isolated communities of Arnhem Land and the Gulf of Carpentaria. Your gift to this project will support the Church in loving, listening to and working together with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
