The SOS Project

SOS – Should I Stay or Should I Go? – empowers young people living in rural and remote areas to become active contributors to their communities through participation, storytelling, and local action.

The Challenge

Many young people leave rural areas because
they see limited opportunities for their future. 

SOS explores how communities can become
places where young people choose to stay,
participate, and thrive.
