The Yachad Accelerated Learning Project

NAB is involved in a range of initiatives that help to build social capital and empower local communities, including The Yachad Accelerated Learning Project(YALP).YALP is a three-year educational intervention program aimed at raising the scholastic achievements of students in remote and rural locations in Australia, particularly those with a high proportion of Indigenous students. It is based on whole of community educational approaches developed by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

YALP is working in consultation and cooperation with schools, parents, Indigenous elders and community organisations in five locations: Alice Springs (NT), Aurukun (QLD), Halls Creek (WA), North Adelaide (SA) and Shepparton (VIC).

As a partner of YALP since 2005, NAB is committed to helping young people in these rural and remote locations.
