Youth is a critical stage at which life-changing decisions regarding one's career and employment opportunities are made. Youths from our community have limited future opportunities in their reach and our goal is to change that. Statistics show that an Indigenous person's life expectancy in Australia is 71.4 years compared to 81.4 years. Even with Government initiatives such as Closing the Gap, a big gap still exists between indigenous Australians and the rest of the population.
Our project is focused on the youths of Indigenous communities in Australia. These youths face many issues that lead to them dropping out education and/or ending up in the criminal justice system. Our objective is to enhance their skills through ways they can relate and helping them to become ambassadors for change within their community and Australia.
This project success will be life changing for these communities but for it to work we need to come together and help today. $25 provides a sheltered space for youth to socialize, thank you for your support.
