🌟 Could your organisation help 10 young people take the next step towards their goals?

Through our Ignite Young Stars Partnership Program, businesses and organisations can help young people experiencing disadvantage overcome financial and generational barriers.

A $10,000 partnership supports 10 young people from Indie School Newcastle over 12 months in partnership with The University of Newcastle, Australia Conservatorium of Music.

Partners also have the opportunity to follow and celebrate the young people’s achievements, seeing firsthand the difference their support can make.

If your organisation is looking for a meaningful way to invest in the community, we’d love to hear from you.
