More than 1.1 million young Australians are living in poverty in Australia and nearly 1 in 4 young people experience complex mental health challenges.
Australian grassroots charities and social enterprises play a vital role in supporting underserved communities by helping vulnerable individuals build skills and break cycles of disadvantage. TFN empowers community-driven organisations through inspirational crowdfunding events, raising funds and providing essential support to exceptional community leaders dedicated to reducing inequalities.
By supporting our Thriving Young People events, you will invest in the multiplier effect, impacting a broad range of programs that empower children and young people by:
- Improving health and well-being;
- Providing access to quality education;
- Supporting school to work transition;
- Accessing employment to achieve social connectedness, personal significance and emotional wellbeing.
TFN Alumni working in this area include: BackTrack, Batyr, Dismantle, Eat Up, Enrise, Top Blokes, Raise Foundation, Youth Live4Life, The Man Cave, Little Dreamers, MIEACT, Consent Labs and many more.
