Schools and Youth Engagement
At Roundabout Canberra, we believe every child deserves a safe start and every family deserves dignity. Schools and community groups play a big role in helping us make that possible.
Why it Matters for Young People
When children and young people talk about giving and get involved in helping others, they develop empathy, kindness, and social responsibility. They see that small actions can make a big difference and understand the importance of dignity and inclusion. These experiences also build confidence and a strong sense of community.
How you can help
Start the Conversation
Discuss with your classroom, school, or group the value of giving, the importance of dignity, and how even small acts of support can make a meaningful difference.
Run a Goods Drive
Collect quality baby and children’s items with your group. You can choose a theme (like winter goods or back-to-school supplies) or run a general drive.
Fundraise Together
Host a dress-up day, gold coin fundraiser, school disco, or create your own idea. Every dollar raised helps us provide essentials like nappies, toiletries, cots, and prams to local families.
Invite Us to Speak
We’re always happy to visit schools and community groups to talk about dignity, giving, and the impact of volunteering. If you’d like a member of our team to speak at your assembly or event, let us know.
Celebrate Your Impact
Share your photos and stories with your community, and don’t forget to tag us so we can join in celebrating your efforts. It’s a great way to thank your team for participating and to encourage others to take the lead.
