Africause began working with African-Australians across Melbourne’s north and west in 2013 and since that time we have built a team of 65 volunteers and a small team of paid staff. Led by a strong board, we have developed a range of diverse partnerships with multicultural and other organisations to sustain our efforts to connect, communicate, coordinate, collaborate, create and celebrate with African-Australians and the broader community, including First Nation peoples.
Africause responds to challenges facing African-Australian youth and their families around education and training and economic participation and social inclusion. Focusing on our youth, we aim to prevent school disengagement and unemployment, risk taking behaviour which may lead to contact with the criminal justice system, homelessness, mental illness and social exclusion.
We facilitate positive resettlement outcomes through partnerships with youth focused organisations, education providers, and employers and work collaboratively with refugee and migrant community organisations to maximise our reach and capacity.
