Overview

The Indigenous youth sports program provides an opportunity for school students to be exposed to university in the hope of encouraging more young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to choose tertiary study when they finish school.

The Institute for Urban Indigenous Health developed the program with Inala Indigenous Health Service, Education Queensland and The University of Queensland, in response to the identified priority of increasing the numbers of Indigenous young people studying at university.
