Change4Kids does very cool stuff for very cool kids. With child Bullying, Homelessness and Teen Suicide at an all time high and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth making up 40% of all teen suicides, we are dedicated to creating change for kids in crisis. We believe that every child deserves a fair go, and that’s why we are changing the lives of our Aussie kids and helping them create the path to a brighter future for themselves and their community.
Going strong since 2016, Change4Kids is a not for profit organisation founded by an epic dude, Dale Stone. Dale was once a street kid himself and knows all too well what it means to feel unwanted. In his words, “How a child in today’s times can live without a loving family is beyond me and it breaks my heart to hear the stories. We will not stop until these kids know they are loved, treasured and given a fair go”.
THIS is the passion that drives Change4Kids.
Change4Kids (or since we’re friends now, you can call us C4K) has done more great stuff for kids than you can poke a soft, padded, child-friendly stick at. We have delivered hundreds of Christmas presents, Easter Eggs, toys, games and books to kids in foster care and child protection plus we threw in a few circus tickets, footy tickets, and trampolines for good measure.
Our current mission? Developing ground-breaking services to bring assistance to victims of bullying, homelessness and suicide prevention. We creating long term solutions for our Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Aussie kids who have suffered neglect or abuse, or have become a number in the justice system. Starter Packs are specifically designed to assist our troubled youth transition from street life and juvenile detention to society. Starter Packs help kids who have had a rough start create an epic future. You can give to our Starter Pack mission here.
Like most charities, we rely on the power of luuurve to make stuff happen. This means we have an awesome team of volunteers, organisations and local businesses that support our cause.
With a goal to change the lives of 1,000,000 Aussie kids in crisis we are dedicated to providing our kids with the tools, education and life skills for the next chapter of their life.
Want to get involved? (it gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, we swear). By partnering with Change4Kids on a monthly basis, kids in crisis 5 to 18 years of age will be provided with a Starter Pack courtesy of Change4Kids and Kmart Australia. Plus YOU get to change the life of an Aussie child in need, forever.
