Helping to improve the lives of young people who are marginalised; helping build confidence and self-worth and helping them to find their voice in an environment where their views are valued.

A community in which every young person — particularly those who are vulnerable — can grow and develop, improving their personal situation, while being empowered to create change more broadly.

The Terry Campese Foundation’s goal is to help disadvantaged young people and those requiring crisis accommodation. Focussing on ‘breaking-the-cycle’ style programs, the aim is to provide greater opportunities for marginalised young people in the community.

The Refocus

The directors of the foundation (Terry Campese, Rob Bogdanoski CA and Pamela Slocum OAM) realising it was not possible to help everyone – stopped to take a breath and refocused the foundation.

The primary purpose now is to help disadvantaged young people and organisations in the local region, including the country towns of Braidwood, Bungendore and Captain’s Flat.

Working independently, and by also supporting individuals and organisations already working with young people experiencing disadvantage, the TCF focus is on, building on strengths and opportunities, by providing the tools to combat the many difficult and complex situations vulnerable people face.

It’s likely the foundation will expand the focus in the future however, for the moment the concentration is on marginalised young people.

Young People EOI TCF Mentor Program

Young people who are given the opportunity to explore the great outdoors, discover more about themselves in just four days, than they do over three months in their normal environment

Open communication in a carefree environment encourages honesty and trust, allowing young people to see the world differently and more positively, particularly if they’re really listened to, and their views and opinions, are respected.

Safe and adventurous environments, motivate a growth mindset. Young people engage more openly when they feel comfortable, surrounded by peers and supportive mentors.
