Stride Foundation - Save the Lives of Young People

Young people face many issues in Australia today. At school there are concerns with bullying, conflict, stress, depression, suicide and low self-esteem. In the community young people are confronted with drugs, unemployment and peer pressure. At home there may be broken families, a long history of unemployment and social isolation. Stride works with youth in the vital development stages of pre-adolescence and adolescence to address self-destructive and anti-social behaviours.

Stride Foundation is different to other youth organisations in that we work with young people to equip them with tools and techniques to manage the issues that they may encounter before they start to have a negative effect on their life. Stride's mission is to build resilience in young people to help them realize their potential to live a healthy and positive life. Strides partners with schools and communities to deliver its action based programs.

How will the funds be used?

Funds will be used to support the delivery programs to youth in the school setting and those in community at risk of disengagement.
