Project Update: Preparing for our September Launch

By Michelle Smith | Project Leader

We're excited to share that Paws & Potential: Healing Shelter Dogs & Youth is on track to launch its pilot programme in September! We finally have a date to get the pilot going and we cant wait!

While our youth sessions are paused during the school holidays, our team is hard at work behind the scenes in preparation for whats next. Over the coming weeks, we are finalising the programme timeline, assembling the project team, and putting the finishing touches on the pilot to ensure we're ready for a successful launch.

We've also begun scheduling meetings with our beneficiary partners to prepare for the selection process and implementation and ensure everyone is ready to hit the ground running when the programme begins. 

Although there are no programme activities to report just yet, this planning phase is a crucial step in building an impactful initiative that will support both vulnerable young people and shelter dogs.

We can't wait to share more with you once the pilot officially launches in September. Thank you for being part of this journey, we look forward to updating you on our progress and introducing you to the first participants in the months ahead!
