Now you have the money, what do you do with it?
Chances for Children strive to ensure that the absence of money or support will not stand in the way of a young person achieving their potential.
Our focus is on providing financial support to recipients, who without our help, may not have the opportunity to pursue their education or realise their talents in sport or the arts. We tailor funding to each individual recipient, to give them the best chance for success.
The majority of our support goes to young people hoping to pursue tertiary education outside of the district and are required to relocate to be able to achieve this goal. Along with financial support for our tertiary students, we also offer a tertiary mentoring program using volunteer mentors to assist with a recipient’s transition to university.
Chances for Children relies heavily on the generosity of our local community to enable forward financial planning. This makes it possible to accurately assess our ability to assist young people through our funding rounds and make a real difference in their lives.
Partnerships can take place in many different forms. Please contact us to find out more about how you can make a difference.
