Souths Cares is an independent not-for-profit public benevolent institution, closely affiliated with the South Sydney Rabbitohs Football Club. Our charter is to support disadvantaged and marginalised youth and their families through the delivery of capacity building programs addressing education, training, health and employment needs.
Souths Cares delivers a wide range of community programs including:
- Nanga Mai Marri (Dream Big): A school to work mentoring program for Aboriginal high school students in South Eastern Sydney. The program supports students from year 9 onwards to complete their HSC and then successfully transition into employment, training and/or tertiary education. The program is delivered at nine high schools within South Eastern Sydney and the Inner City, with over 91% of participants graduating with their HSC.
- Deadly Youth Mentoring Program: An early intervention program for Aboriginal youth considered at-risk of entering the Youth Justice system. The program provides each participant with 6 months of intensive mentoring and casework support and is delivered in partnership with a number of stakeholders including education providers, NSW Youth Justice and local Police. 84% of participants have not had a formal interaction with the Youth Justice system in the 12 months after completing the program.
- Liverpool Opportunity Hub: Provides holistic education, employment and cultural support for Aboriginal school students attending school in Liverpool LGA. The program supports students from grade 5 until they complete their HSC and then transition into employment, training and/or tertiary education. The program is delivered at 25 schools in Liverpool LGA.
- Play Her Way: An All-Girls Rugby League program developed to address many of the barriers girls face in participating in sport including affordability, quality of coaching and a lack of holistic training programs specifically designed for female athletes. Participants are coached by accredited mentors in a safe, inclusive environment, while also receiving guidance on nutrition, mental fitness, leadership, and goal-setting—helping them grow as both athletes and individuals.
- Rabbitohs Wellbeing Program: A health promotion initiative focusing on a range of critical health and wellbeing topics including mental health & wellbeing, nutrition, physical activity, social responsibility, healthy relationships and goal setting. The program is currently engaging 25,000+ school students each year.
- Regional Health Promotion Tours: Facilitated by Souths Cares staff and ambassadors, the charity visits at least four regional/remote communities each year to deliver health promotion workshops accompanied by physical activity sessions.
- Holiday Clinics: Include physical activities and games, wellbeing workshops and cultural activities in school holidays, delivered at no cost for participants.
