ARV s main objective is to improve quality of life of children and families from asylum seeker and refugee backgrounds living in the Australian community as well as other migrants with past experience of torture and trauma. ARV provides programs that add development capacities and joy to the lives of these children and help with their integration into the Australian community. Through our programs, we aim to assist our clients through the development of self confidence, social and leadership skills all leading to a development of their personal identity and sense of social inclusion. ARV s programs provide essential recreational and developmental opportunities for children, helping to improve their quality of life. ARV is committed to empowering individuals and families and building more cohesive, tolerant communities.
