Jirrawich Aboriginal Mentoring Program

History of Jirrawich

Jirrawich began from a passion and an idea of supporting Aboriginal young people and their families as a continuation of the work of Eiizabeth 'Dolly' Henry.

Elizabeth was a founding member of the Illawarra Aboriginal Community Centre and a pioneer in supporting Aboriginal Community and young people.

As a descendant of Elizabeth's, I have always shared the same passion for supporting community and Jirrawich is the platform for the ongoing work to support Aboriginal people and community for future generations.

About Us

Welcome

Jirrawich would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work, live and learn upon and pay our respects to Elders and Past Present.

Jirrawich also acknowledge our young people who are our future leaders and knowledge holders.

We share our stories, cultural knowledge and experiences to create stronger future through the lives of our young people.

How Can We Help?

Through mentoring we support young people learn more about their cultural identity and needs.

We support Government and Non-Government Organisations to support their Aboriginal young people connect to culture, community and support their social and emotional needs.

Vision Statement: To develop stronger identities through culture and connected communities for our young people.

Mission Statement: To provide support to Aboriginal young people through Culture, identity and support for the future.

Thank You

We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you. Please share this page with anyone who needs local support for Aboriginal children.
