Empowering the Next Generation of Indigenous Youth
The Clontarf Foundation is dedicated to improving the education, discipline, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. Through its Irrawang Academy, the program provides a supportive environment where students are encouraged to remain engaged at school, build confidence and develop pathways beyond the classroom.
The Wests Group, through the ClubGRANTS program, is proud to support the Clontarf Foundation with a donation of $8,550, helping provide essential resources and expanded opportunities for participants. This funding has strengthened program delivery, enhanced student engagement and enabled staff to create richer, more inclusive learning experiences that foster growth and connection.
With this support, students are better equipped to participate fully in the program, build positive relationships and develop the skills needed for future success.
