Volunteer Leisure Guide
Life Stream Australia ’s Leisure and Holiday Program provides opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to participate in community based recreational activities, in a safe and supported environment. Their range of programs are not only fun, but are designed to develop skills, enhance self-esteem, build confidence and provide opportunities to make new friendships.
