Traction provides programs that engage young people and support the development of practical skills, communication and broader life skills. Its aim is to help young people find their purpose, realise their own self-worth, define their own career path and become active members of the community.
Part of the program includes the restoration of donated items, including bicycles and motorbikes. This helps to develop skills and confidence.
