The advantage for Young Life
Regular donations are the lifeblood of of most charities, and Young Life Australia is no different. It’s the regular support we can count on, that helps us to plan for the year ahead and budget for our programs and our growth.
Workplace giving is a way to donate regularly as part of a team, and give Young Life the security of being able to plan for the future as we endeavour to impact young lives throughout Australia. Your gifts will go towards camps, programs in schools, and local youth activities that give us an opportunity to get alongside young people and be a positive influence in their lives.
