Support my challenge to care for young Western Australians

Every school day across Western Australia, 250,000 students walk into a school where someone knows their name. In 2025, YouthCARE chaplains and volunteers showed up in 600 school communities and 38 sporting clubs across the state, from the Kimberley to the Great Southern.

They sat with students navigating hard things, served nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivered 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and supported more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines.

260,000 people. One consistent presence. Ridiculously good care.

Your support helps provide ridiculously good care to young Western Australians.

Help me support YouthCARE today

I am setting myself the challenge of walking 10,000 steps per day for the month of May as my way of supporting this ridiculously good cuase.

As a YouthCARE Chaplain at one of the 77 Education Support Schools / Centres / Programs in Western Australia, I am deeply passionate about supporting the mental health of parents and staff in the disability space.

Together we can make a real change to the lives of so many - I'd love you to join me.
