Cultural Responsibility
Meaningful Work, Unforgettable Experiences
Creating a safe non-judgmental space,
to promote resilience and improve the physical and emotional
well-being of each individual.
COOEE Staff and Elders work in collaboration with a number of partner organizations. We view education and educational attainment as a viable way of dealing with the social concerns emerging among a significant percentage of Indigenous young people and families in the Wynnum, Redlands and surrounding Bay Islands.
