🙌 Thank you to our crowdfunding donors - you made this possible! 🙌

Thank you to each and every one of our absolutely legendary crowdfunding donors from last year's campaign which aimed to, and succeeded in, raising enough funds to fit out For Change, Middle Park. Now, we have an incredible new space to welcome our community, and most importantly our trainees into!

Like everything that we do at For Change Co., none of this project wouldn't have been possible without our incredible community of donors and supporters.

So thank you - for believing in our vision, and for joining with us in creating better futures for young people at-risk of homelessness.

🎉 Thanks Australian Communities Foundation 🤗

Thank you to the wonderful team at the Australian Communities Foundation for their support of our work through awarding us a Surge Grant to build our capacity to support more young people through our training and employment program. This year, we will almost double the number of young people that we work with and this grant will be essential to making sure that we can provide each trainee with individualised training, support and remuneration.

☕ Our wonderful cafes provide paid, on-the-job training and employment 🦸

Every coffee that you buy at our cafes (@home.onebrunswick @home.twomelbourne) supports the opportunity for the young people that we work with to get real, on-the-job and paid training and employment. That means, that you can truly make a difference everytime that you choose to purchase your coffee with us - how cool is that!

🧡 Today is Youth Homelessness Matters Day 🧡

Youth homelessness matters today because youth homelessness matters everyday.

Nearly 28,000 young people experience homelessness on any given night in Australia (ABS 2016). We know that this is not good enough and that it needs to change. Every single one of these young people matters and deserves the support, love, and community that they need to thrive and take control of their own future.

This Youth Homelessness Matters Day, we encourage you to join us in imagining an Australia free from youth homelessness, and in doing something to be a part of that future together. For Change Co. is lucky enough to be one of a huge number of incredible organisations in Australia that exist to work with young people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness and we encourage you to connect with, follow and support all of this work!

👉 Check out the likes of @launchhousing @melbcitymission @streatmelbourne @homie.com.au @wombathousingsupport @bridgeitorg @whitelionau @youthworxaus @youthprojects , to be inspired and to be a part of making a real difference. 👈

We are incredibly excited to announce our employment and training partnership with @atticamelbourne Restaurant Melbourne. One of our trainees is set to begin a two-month traineeship at Attica where they will learn the tricks of the trade from the most accomplished restaurant in Melbourne! We’re absolutely ecstatic to partner with such an exceptional business for this pilot and to give this trainee the opportunity to experience the dynamic environment Attica’s restaurant offers. Thank you so much to @benshewry and the awesome Attica Restaurant Melbourne team!

🎉 Thank you Bank of Melbourne 🎉

We are hugely grateful to the @bankofmelbourne who recently awarded us a grant which will have a massive impact on our ability to support the young people in our programs to access paid, on-the-job training and employment. We couldn't do the work that we do and have such a deep impact without the support of our awesome partners like the Bank of Melbourne.
