We have delivered a range of programs, provided to youth participants free of charge. They were conducted at our community centre in The Nexus Centre, 99 Sheridan Street Cairns (which is currently relocating) and around the North Queensland region, thanks to ‘pop-up’ events and gyms. Below are examples of different programs and community groups, which can and have operated from the Nexus Initiative.

We are about empowering individuals to make positive change in themselves and their world. We do not seek profit from any program or venture. They are provided to participants free of charge and will run for as long as the initiative has enough to survive, and cater for the individuals using it.
Please note we also provide Community Development Consultation services. This not only helps to provide a revenue stream to support the provision of our free community services, it also enables us to share our skills, experience and expertise with others looking to make a change.
Ultimately, the goal is to change mindsets and educate individuals, particularly in those areas where opportunities are severely limited. In turn, the community benefits this organisation offers are for strong and educated citizens, as well as programs which cater for those who are disadvantaged or have limited finance. This is TSM, fighting today for a better tomorrow.
Our programs are constantly evolving, in keeping with our participants, supporters and volunteers. If you have a passion, an idea or a skill and would like to share it with others through TSM, then contact us today. We’d love for you to become a part of our fight. Alternatively, if you just want to join a group of like-minded people in a safe, community space of shared learning and activity, then you are welcome to attend our community centre or one of our programmed activities.
