Our mission
Our mission is to change the lives of homeless and at-risk young people by working with them individually, offering long term and focused intensive support.
Our vision is to provide them with the life skills and support they need to break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness and build a better future.
At Open Family Australia we believe in a young person’s need to belong. We can change the lives of vulnerable young people.
“I have seen a side of these young people very few would get to uncover. I have listened to them, laughed with them, kept them company while they've made their beds at night on the streets. I have fed them, clothed them, taken them to medical centres and literally begged services to give them a chance. I will remember each and every one of them and I hope that in some tiny way I have helped them all.”
“When Henry Davis York initially expressed an interest to support Open Family Australia we received a quick and positive response. Open Family Australia met with us to explain more about their operations and vision. They really made an effort to understand our firm and to offer funding opportunities to suit our focus while at the same time fulfilling their own mission and focus on community needs. The staff of Open Family Australia have always been approachable and committed to making our partnership a success. With such clear communication, we feel confident that our contribution is making a difference. We are proud to support the work of Open Family Australia and to witness the difference they are making to kids who have nowhere else to turn. ”
Kelvin O’Connor, Chief Operating Officer, Henry Davis York.
