CREATING IMPACT

FROM HERE WE SEE THE CHANGE

THE NATIONAL DISCUSSION IS OFTEN SOMETHING WE CAN’T CONTROL AS ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLE; THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE CONTROLLING IT AND HOLDING THE KEYS. THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT THE JAWUN PROGRAM IS, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN CONTROL

ANDREA MASON, FORMER CEO, NPY WOMEN’S COUNCIL
THE STRENGTH OF THE JAWUN PARTNERSHIP MODEL IS IN DEVELOPING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS AND WORKING TOGETHER THROUGH THE JAWUN ECOSYSTEM.

BEING PART OF THE JAWUN NETWORK ALLOWS US TO CAPTURE DATA TO TELL THE REAL STORY OF OUR WORK – THAT’S HOW WE EMPOWER OURSELVES AND CREATE IMPACT DRIVEN FROM THE COMMUNITY…AT THE HIGHESTLEVEL IT'S FOR THE KIDS - RATES OF INCARCERATION HAVE PLUMMETED, KIDS ARE FINISHING YEAR 12, THERE ARE SAFER FAMILIES, SAFER ENVIRONMENTS….WE'VE TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY BACK AS A COMMUNITY.“
