A $20,000 donation from the Twin Towns Services Community Foundation funded the enrolment of 10 boys at the Clontarf Foundation’s Academy at Tweed River High School.
Clontarf Foundation is an organisation that improves the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
The Community Foundation’s support has provided the boys with career opportunities and enabled them to give back through community engagement.
Community Foundation Chairman, David Phillips, said the Clontarf Foundation was an amazing organisation and the work they do with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids is “exemplary”.
“We’re thrilled to be in a position to help the local Clontarf Foundation Academy through our Community Foundation
