Our youth are the heartof our future. Let’s lift them up together.

When you donate to our Youth Sports Program, you’re not just giving kids a chance to play, you’re giving them the power to belong, to grow, and to shine. Through sport, young people build confidence, learn teamwork, tackle tough issues like racism and justice, and discover their true potential. 

Your support helps create a safe, inspiring space where every child feels seen, valued, and empowered.

For many of the young people who joined Cultura’s Youth Sports Academy, 2024 marked their first-ever experience playing in a team sport. And what a debut - all four of our Volleyball and Futsal teams reached the finals, with two claiming victory!

But this program is about far more than winning. It’s about breaking down barriers; cost, transport, lack of access, and even cultural concerns - so young people can experience the confidence, teamwork, and joy that sport can bring.

Each term, the Academy combines skill-building in Volleyball and Futsal with vital life sessions covering topics like respectful relationships, employment pathways, racism, and law. These sessions, led by guest speakers, create safe spaces for conversation, learning, and growth.

Demand is growing. In Term 1 alone, over 60 young people joined our drop-in sessions, with strong calls for expanding the program so girls can play Futsal and boys can try Volleyball too.

Your donation can make that happen. Funds raised will directly support:

• Player and team registrations
• Sports uniforms
• Access to local Volleyball and Futsal competitions

If donations exceed our target, we dream of launching a mini round-robin event, giving all participants the chance to try new sports in a fun, supportive environment.
