COMMUNITY AND CULTURE
Stronger Community for Children (SCfC) is a place-based community development program that aims to give Yolŋu children and young people the best possible start in life. It does this through safer families and communities, nurturing educational environments, positive participation opportunities and cultural events that help young people to grow up strong, healthy and confident.
Yalu is proud to be the Facilitating Partner for the SCfC program, delivering cultural educations program in the community. We work with stakeholders and a local community board to distribute funding on behalf of the government to community-based services, to make sure the services use the funding properly.
SCFC aims to give children and young people a clear and healthy pathway through their early life, by:
-
Strengthening family’s ability to take care of children and young people
-
Providing opportunities to participate in cultural events
-
Supporting children to be ready for school
-
Building community’s ability to lead, plan and prioritise services that children and families need
-
Building the capacity of Indigenous organisations to deliver services
