YOUTH CLUB
The Homework Club was initiated by MFO in 2007, and after becoming an instant success this concept is now implemented by nearly all Settlements Services in Australia. The aim is to assist Primary and High School students, from a Cultural And Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background, to adjust to the Australian educational system, learning a new language and settle into their new life environment.

To promote health, exercise, acceptance and inclusion MFO invites and encourages all young clients to participate in a variety of sports, athletic events and programmed trainings.
