Educating & Empowering Indigenous children
It is our belief that education is the key to generational change and a brighter future for Indigenous children.

Yalari respects our Elders, past and present, and acknowledges that our office is on Kombumerri country within the lands of the Yugambeh language group.

This April, 16 Yalari alumni took the challenge of undertaking the Warrior Spirit Camp at Holsworthy Barracks.
“Initially, I went into this experience incredibly apprehensive. From one to ten, I was probably a two. I didn't know what to expect other than this week would involve a lot of yelling. I did not expect to come out of this experience as I have which is empowered, understanding, compassionate, proud, introspective and far more culturally and emotionally resilient.” – participant, aged 21.
The program was run in parthership with 5th Brigade - Australian Army and focused on growing the next generation of Indigenous leaders in Australia.
