Youthrive Victoria conducts two residential personal development programs for members of the Youthrive Alumni. 

The Young Rural Leaders Program takes place during January and is designed to welcome new scholarship recipients and applicants.

The mid-year Rural Summit  provides motivational presentations and workshops, by young people for young people and is designed for Alumni from across the years to attend.

The January program is managed by an Alumni Program Manager assisted by a team of volunteer coaches. Usually conducted at a residential camp venue the program includes skills workshops, team building activities and lots of fun opportunities to build connection and confidence.

In June 2026 the Youthrive Rural Summit was held at the YMCA Camp Mt Evelyn and around 40 participants enjoyed great motivational speakers. The program theme was stepping beyond your comfort zone and taking on new challenges.

Youthrive Victoria is very fortunate to receive significant philanthropic support from The Gidleigh Foundation and Mrs. Jan Souter to ensure these residential programs continue to grow.

Due to receipt of a bequest, Youthrive has recently appointed a new team member (.8 EFT) to grow and expand the style and range of personal development programs provided to build the capacity of young rural Victorians.
