Winslow Group, via the Allenby Foundation, donated $20,000 to Ganbina, an organisation that matches Winslow’s values of encouraging the growth and development of young people.
Ganbina runs Australia’s most successful Aboriginal school-to-work transition program Jobs4U2, which helps Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth aged from five to 25 years old stay engaged in mainstream education, training and employment.
Winslow’s donation will support the Ganbina Aboriginal Youth Leadership Program, which gives participants an insight into leadership and to expose them to the skills and commitment required to be leaders.
The program aligns with Winslow’s values where each person is empowered to make good decisions to look after each other as family, be accountable to each other and be committed to operating safely.
“It has been a great honour to continue the relationship with Ganbina and support the important work they do with young Aboriginal people in nurturing them to achieve their full potential,” said Amelia Rizzo, Winslow’s General Counsel.
The three-year program starts in Year 10 and assists participants to develop initial skills around leadership and expose them to leaders and experiences that they would otherwise not have.
“We are delighted to accept another generous donation from Winslow,” said Ganbina CEO Anthony Cavanagh.
“These much-needed funds will ensure our Youth Leadership Program continues to give participants an insight into leadership and to expose them to the skills and commitment required to be leaders.”
The Allenby Foundation was established in 2022 by Dino and Franca Strano as the philanthropic arm of the Winslow Group to help those who need it.
