About Us

 

Vision

The Aboriginal Literacy Foundation believes that positive and practical change to closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous young people starts with literacy and numeracy. Our vision is for a future where all Indigenous children can pursue quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the country.

 

Mission Statement

The Aboriginal Literacy Foundation seeks to transform the lives of Indigenous children by focusing on literacy and numeracy education. Working in collaboration with local communities and partners, we develop literacy skills with Indigenous children so that they can succeed in school and beyond.

 

The Aboriginal Literacy Foundation is an independent not for profit, charitable organisation that relies on the generous support of the community to achieve its work.

 

Our Values

The values that underpin the Aboriginal Literacy Foundation and the way staff, tutors, volunteers and young people are expected to engage with the program are;

 

• Team work: We foster a spirit of belonging, community, cooperation and active participation in the delivery of all activities.

 

• Empowerment: We will at all times nurture others so that they have the confidence and self determination to make choices and achieve their personal goals and social and economic independence.

 

• Fun: We will ensure that all activities are delivered in a manner that promotes learning in an enjoyable, engaging and safe environment.
