Steps Outreach Scholarships.The Community Services Team has been investigating opportunities to deepen relationships with existing partners over the past year.
In discussions with Concern Australia, we have agreed to provide scholarships for young people being supported by Steps Outreach (a program of Concern Australia).
Our first scholarships will be for $500 each for one young woman and one young man nominated by Steps Outreach for 12 months ($1000 in total). The money will be used to support their engagement in an activity the young person enjoys but would otherwise struggle to participate in. This might be playing a musical instrument, arts or sports events.
While the scholarships are still in early days, funding has been matched with a grant of $1000 for high club attendance at District Assembly, and has now been further matched with a District grant of another $2000. We have grown the initial investment from our club of $1000 to $4000.
