The Workabout Centre have once again trained up some students and will be providing hot chocolates and coffees throughout the day.
They do an amazing job of providing training and support to young Aboriginal people transitioning from school to work. Have a chat to them today about the opportunities they have for you.

The Catapult Foundation have come back to partner with us again this year. Another fantastic organisation with a heart for the community. Making a difference in the lives of South Australians in need.
Born from a desire to help people less fortunate, the Catapult Foundation supports vitally important organisations that operate with limited resources.

Kura Yerlo are another new partner this year. They do amazing work and have contributed significantly to the success of this event.

Kura Yerlo is an Aboriginal-controlled community organisation that has been providing services for Aboriginal people since 1983. Initially formed as a grassroots organisation by a small group of local Aboriginal community members, it has grown to provide services across the life spectrum across metropolitan Adelaide, including childcare, youth case management and mentoring, adult disability and aged care. Culture is at the heart of all we do, and is integrated throughout our groups and services. Our local community named our organisation Kura Yerlo, meaning ‘by the sea’, and over the years our organisation has continued to support the revitalisation of Kaurna language, using it at every opportunity. Kura Yerlo employs over 42 staff, with a 85% Aboriginal employment target, across a range of services.

We have a strong history of evolving and developing our services to meet community needs, providing a mentoring and employment pathway for young Aboriginal people, and encouraging advocacy and leadership development. We have a strong Board of Management which is comprised of both Elders and Aboriginal people with extensive experience in the community services arena, holding senior positions in both government and non-government agencies. As when Kura Yerlo was established, Aboriginal people continue to face discrimination, over-representation across a number of systems, including justice, health and child protection, and under-representation in significant areas such as educational attainment and employment. Our organisation continues to work in alignment with Closing the Gap targets and strategies to utilise funding to improve these outcomes for our local community.’

Lutheran Care and Elcies have been supporting us from the beginning and we are so very grateful. Please go and show them some love.

For more than 50 years, Lutheran Care has been changing lives and building communities. From early intervention programs to frontline crisis relief, we work together with all people from all walks of life to provide dignity, build skills and grow connections for a brighter future.
