About the organisation

Organisation Name : Cathy Freeman Foundation
Cathy Freeman established the Cathy Freeman Foundation (CFF) in 2007 to help Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children and their families recognise the power of education and achieve their goals and dreams. CFF develops long-term partnerships with remote Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities, working to an international community development framework, employing local Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people to build the capacity of communities in a long term and sustainable manner. CFF works one-on-one with students in the classroom building confidence, teaching goal setting and resilience skills and supporting them through to year 12 completion. All programs are implemented on the ground by local Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander staff to ensure our projects are appropriate to each Individual community context, whilst providing positive relatable role models for the students. CFF runs an education program which includes several specific projects working with students from pre-prep through to Year 12. These projects all culminate with the aim of building personal development skills and attributes with the intention of building an understanding of the value that education will add to their lives with the aim to ultimately increase school attendance and year 12 attainment.
