Open Family Australia continues to assist young people who do not meet the criteria for the Back To School program with private scholarships to help them stay in school.
In 2008/2009, 94 young people were provided with scholarships to assist them with their schooling requirements, such as:
- School books and stationery
- Sporting equipment
- Computer hardware and software
- School camps
- Extra curricular activities
Open Family Australia would like to acknowledge our many corporate and private donors who contribute to this program, giving young people the opportunity to further their education.
The City of Frankston has a new community outreach program to combat the rise in youth homelessness, crime and alcohol and drug related abuse for troubled youth in the region. A development committee made up of concerned local business owners approached Open Family Australia in 2008 to establish the program to assist at-risk and homeless youth aged 12-25 in Frankston.
