This means that our volunteers and staff are people who are also young and same sex attracted, sex and/or gender diverse (DSG) and are trained to be able to give support and information to their peers.   Peer support at the Freedom Centre works using Social Cognitive Theory, which basically says that we learn and develop best when we get the right information that’s relevant to us and have a safe and respectful social environment to practice and understand what we learn. At Freedom Centre we hope people learn to accept and respect themselves and others. The volunteers use peer support to provide an ideal space for this to be learnt and understood.So we use peer support and the safe social space to empower young people to be themselves, be confident, make healthy informed choices and respect both their own diversity as well as others.

Little Paths Australia (AU, 40142900507) Browse events

HELP us to HELP vulnerable children in developing nations and END their cycle of poverty - "little by little" Little Paths Australia was formed after a number of our board members visited Tanzanian and Cambodian street child centres.  It was during these visits that we learnt about the ‘life of a street child’ and the devastation caused by extreme poverty. Not only were we confronted by the impact of poverty but we were inspired by the young people that we met.  These kids are motivated, determined and hardworking. They are ready to be successful and contributing members of their community and just needed someone to believe in them and give them a chance.  We are dedicated to providing the ' little paths' required for them to use their incredibly inspiring skills and to become the young adults they wish to be while achieving their dream of education.  It is SO easy to help these kids.  By raising as little as $30 you WILL help to send a primary aged child to school in a developing nation, with the perks that they require (uniform, pens, paper, food etc) Raise $300 and you HAVE helped a child to continue their education into secondary school, with tuition for an entire year (again with all the perks) Finishing school is not a reality for many due to poverty and we believe education is an essential path to lay for children's futures the future of their country.  We hope that we have inspired you to get on board and little by little, achieve a lot!!
