Hello you! We\u2019re new and we\u2019re all about you. Well, not that new. We\u2019ve been over 65 years in the making as Karingal and St Laurence, but now we\u2019ve become genU.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s short for \u2018Generation You\u2019, because whatever generation you belong to, whether you\u2019re young, old or somewhere in between, what unites us is the belief that neither disability nor ageing are disadvantages to be endured but rather challenges to be met boldly, achievements to be had and adventures in the making.<\/p>\n

We want you to be ambitious, dream big and have YOU tell us where YOU want to go \u2013 we\u2019ll make things happen.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to gain new skills, build your independence, make new friends, tackle an adventure and have a bit of fun, we\u2019ve got you covered, because that\u2019s what we do best. Helping you be the best \u2018you\u2019 you can be!<\/p>\n

Throughout Geelong and the Surf Coast we offer personal support, recreation and adventure activities, skills development and training to people of all abilities, so please give us a call on 1300 558 368 to find out more.<\/p>\n
