As the saying goes – If you want to go fast, go alone: If you want to go far, go together.

Born from the success and enduring impact of youth support charity, BackTrack, The Tracker Network is a coaching mentorship program designed to assist other communities in adopting BackTrack’s effective and sustainable principles and methods to suit their own unique settings. Designed to help as many young people having a hard time as possible, The Tracker Network provides an invaluable support network, shared resources, and a collaborative environment for brainstorming ideas.

Currently The Tracker Network encompasses the following communities: LeaderLife Dubbo, Down The Track Lake Cargelligo, Making Tracks Broken Hill, RuffTRACK Hawkesbury River, FlatTrack Moree, ShoreTrack Macksville, and Emerge Toowoomba.

“In 2023 I am supporting the Tracker Network which is comprised of 7 like-minded youth organisations with a mission of ‘helping young people who are having a tough time’. In the words of the founder of BackTrack Youth Works and subsequently the Tracker Network, Bernie Shakeshaft “If you want to go fast, go alone: If you want to go far, go together”.."
