For Change Co. has an exciting opportunity for a CEO to join the organisation and drive the work towards its ambitious vision.
An Australia free from youth homelessness.
To create pathways out of homelessness for young people through a social enterprise model.
Collaboration - We are more than the sum of all our parts. Our team, our people, are central to what we do and allow us to grow and achieve every day. We choose to collaborate with individuals and groups who share our core values and support our journey towards ending youth homelessness.
Transparency - We exist with a social purpose. We openly communicate our financials, impact data, and actions. We continuously review our processes to stay on track and achieve our mission.
Passion - We care deeply about the social issues that we address, and believe in the power of social enterprise to affect change. Our team is driven to enact change in our community by our passion for the cause.
Inclusivity - Our team is made up of people from different backgrounds, who collectively contribute to a strong diversity of thought across the team. We are absolute in our pursuit of inclusivity, diversity and openness to co-create amazing communities.
Agility - We are open to learning everyday and respond to challenges as they arise. We understand that homelessness is a complex issue, and believe that continuous learning is integral to creating informed solutions. We are able to pivot from our plans when we are faced with obstacles or when new information and ideas are presented, making changes that allow us to best achieve our mission.
Our goal is to measurably and sustainably change the lives of as many young people at-risk of homelessness as we can. We do this by creating pathways out of the homelessness cycle for the young people that we work with.
To date, we have supported over 125 young people to exit the homelessness cycle through our various impact programs, most notably our flagship program 'Pathways for Change'.
