Wirrpanda Foundation Revenue and Competitors

The Wirrpanda Foundation aims to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians across the four pillars of education, employment, health and justice. The priority of the Foundation remains employing local Aboriginal role models who are empowered to build capacity in their own communities. Since 2005, the Foundation has operated with the aim of increasing retention of Aboriginal students in school and improve their life choices by encouraging further study or entry into the workforce. We deliver culturally appropriate programs that are designed and delivered by Aboriginal people. These programs focus on assisting Aboriginal children, families and the community to further develop and equip them with the skills to make significant social decisions that directly impact on their lives. The Foundation exists to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People by working together to empower and build capacity amongst Aboriginal individuals, their families and their communities. All of our mentoring programs aim to reduce the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in our society through a cross-generational approach that: - Increases the retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in school - Improves the life choices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples by encouraging further study or entry into the workforce - Sustains Aboriginal Employment through cross-cultural training - Improves the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
