We said yes to helping youth at risk in the Shoalhaven

Youth become at risk due to factors like family instability, poverty, abuse, mental health issues, and lack of education or support. These challenges can lead to homelessness, substance abuse, and criminal behaviour, making it difficult for them to achieve stability and positive life outcomes.

The Salt Care Foundation supports youth at risk by providing safe shelter, counselling, mentorship, and educational resources. Through life skills training, job readiness programs, and emotional support, Salt empowers young people to overcome challenges, build resilience, and work towards a stable, independent future.

The main demographic of youth at risk includes adolescents aged 12-24, often from low-income or single-parent households. Indigenous youth, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those facing mental health challenges, family instability, or educational disadvantages are particularly vulnerable to becoming at risk.

You can assist youth at risk by offering mentorship, emotional support, and access to resources. Encourage education, connect them with community programs, and help build their confidence. Volunteering, donating, or advocating for youth-focused services also provides them with the tools and opportunities needed to succeed.

The "I Said Yes" campaign began as a response to the growing needs within our community, where Salt has been making a difference since 2011. Recognising that small, consistent contributions can create lasting change, we launched this campaign to inspire individuals to say "yes" to helping others.

By encouraging donations of just $10 per week, the campaign empowers donors to play a vital role in supporting those facing homelessness, disadvantage, addiction, and more, making a collective impact on countless lives.

Salt was founded in 2011 in Bomaderry, NSW, in response to the increasing social challenges within the local community. Initially focused on addressing the immediate needs of those facing disadvantage, Salt quickly expanded its programs to include support for individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, and other crises.

Over the years, Salt has grown into a cornerstone of the community, providing essential services, fostering connections, and empowering individuals and families to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
