An influx of teenagers are roaming the streets of Darwin, Mandorah and Adelaide River these school holidays.
More than 32 students aged between 10 and 18 years are seeing the sights of the Top End after Mission Australia's school holiday program booked out.
Running to the end of July, the teens are attending activities and tours that include the Adelaide River Queen Cruise, Lake Leanyer, Duck-About-Tour to Mandorah, Palmerston Water Park, Fishing Charter and Crocosaurus Cove.
Youth Service Manager Adrian McCann said the activities help young people build confidence and connect with their local community.
"We've had a great response to the program and are really pleased with some of the outcomes," he said.
"I believe this is a great way for students to be active within the community and encourage all young people in Darwin and Palmerston to get involved in our programs."
Mr McCann said parents should get in early for the wet season school holiday program.
Activities offered as part of Mission Australia's school holiday programs are organised by local staff who encourage and inspire the young teens to make informed lifestyle choices.
"We provide a safe atmosphere for them to grow and learn important life skills," Mr McCann said.
Mission Australia contributes heavily to the lives of young people across the Darwin and Palmerston region with several programs for teenagers to be more involved with their communities.
