HCSI 

Hills Community Strengthening Initiative

In it's ninth year, this award-winning mentoring and family support program works in partnership with Cockatoo Primary School to help young people who are struggling. The goal is to build community by helping families and young people navigate through the most difficult parts of their lives and to equip them to make healthy and constructive life choices.

HCSI has three programs:
