The program aims to promote positive and meaningful future pathways for all young Warlpiri people. The notable, and sustainable, success of the program has been firmly based on the strength of Warlpiri youth, families and their communities, as well as the ongoing commitment of staff. The program was created by, and for, Warlpiri people, and is governed by a Warlpiri Committee. The WYDAC head office is in Yuendumu Community, however WYDAC is comprised of a variety of programs operating at five different Warlpiri sites – Yuendumu, Willowra, Nyirripi, Lajamanu and Mt Theo Outstation.

The position will be based in Yuendumu NT, with occasional travel to Willowra, Nyirrpi and Alice Springs, which may include overnight stays.
The Sports Development Coordinator reports directly to the Youth Services Manager and is responsible to the CEO and the WYDAC Board.
