Beacon Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation based in Hobart. Beacon have been working with schools, businesses and communities for over 35 years to bring real world relevance to education and to inspire young people to think about careers and to experience the workplace, long before leaving school.
We deliver programs Australia-wide, for students in Years 7-12, more specifically targeting students in Years 9-12, in schools with an ICSEA* of less than 1,000. We believe socio-economic background or geography should not determine the education or career opportunities you have in life.
All young people are empowered.
Supporting young people to have the aspiration, motivation, and ability to determine their working future.
*ICSEA (Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage) provides an indication of the socio-educational backgrounds of students
It’s not about us, young people are at the centre of what we do.
We expect more and want to change systems that surround young people.
We are driven by meaningful action, guided by our experience and expertise.
We are humble, authentic and adaptable. And importantly, willing to make mistakes and acknowledge it.
We are good people doing good things with heart and compassion.
We can multiply and sustain our impact through collaboration.
