Blue Light Victoria is a not-for-profit organisation that delivers programs to young people across Victoria to build their resilience and wellbeing by encouraging healthy and safe choices. Blue Light Victoria was established in 1976 through the formation of a drug and alcohol-free disco for young people. These events were so popular that attending a Blue Light Disco was akin to a rite of passage and is often what we think of when we hear โBlue Lightโ. It is a vibrant charity that exists to โInspire, Engage and Equip Young People to be their Best Selfโ. We support young people who are at risk of disengaging from school, their community or family, as well as those at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. We do this through a variety of programs and initiatives that increase connection, mental and physical wellbeing, and empowerment. Our activities include school-based programs, fitness, personal development and creative arts programs, discos, social enterprises, and adventure challenges. Each year over 5,000 young people between the ages of 10-21 years benefit from participating in a Blue Light Victoria event or program. We work with an array of community stakeholders and have key partnerships with Victoria Police and other emergency services. The Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, Shane Patton APM is our Patron.
