Inner North Community Foundation
Australia
| Community/Family
The Inner North Community Foundation is a community foundation with a major focus on breaking down barriers to employment for disadvantaged local people in Melbourne's inner northern communities.
Barriers that local people face on a daily basis include intellectual disabilities, living with mental illness, backgrounds of generational unemployment, migrant or refugee status, language barriers, homelessness, and many other issues.
While we have assisted hundreds of local people increase their job-readiness, work and life skills, self-esteem, confidence, and industry and support networks, greater access to employment still remains an issue for many more local people in our region.
The Inner North Community Foundation funds local charitable organisations running innovative and creative employment related programs for disadvantaged local people. The programs are based across the municipalities of Darebin, Moreland, and Yarra.
With your support, we aim to continue helping hundreds more local people to bridge the gap between unemployment and financial and social wellbeing.
