Projects Underway at QPASTT

Resources available to QPASTT fall into two categories – “Core” funding or recurrent funding which is provided by government programs on an annual but recurring basis, and “Project” funding. A significant proportion of QPASTT’s activities, each year, fall into the category of “Project” work. That is, these are discreet pieces of work, funded on a one off basis with relatively small amounts of resources.

• Youth Peace Program – a peer skills program for young people
