GENERATING THE POWER OF YOUTH
T he Power Generation Program is run in partnership with the Port Adelaide Football Club and supports Aboriginal students and graduates of the Aboriginal Power Cup get job ready. It provides crucial, ongoing support to give participants every opportunity for success in their chosen career path. AnglicareSA provides relevant, wrap-around social supports to the participant and their family. This includes support to address challenges that could be preventing the participant from transitioning to or sustaining training or employment, such as difficulties at home. A s part of AnglicareSA’s commitment to addressing violence against women we are working to become an accredited White Ribbon Workplace. White Ribbon is the world's largest movement working to end men's violence against women and girls, promote gender equality, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. The campaign works through primary prevention initiatives involving awareness raising and education, and programs with youth, schools, workplaces and across the broader community. White Ribbon's Workplace Accreditation program is an 18 month process starting with an employee survey which was completed in May 2016. This survey will act as an organisational benchmark against which we will be assessed in 18 months' time. To help raise awareness of White Ribbon, staff at various AnglicareSA sites held morning teas to coincide with White Ribbon’s ‘Have a night in, to get the word out’ campaign. Staff at the Outer Southern Hub created White Ribbon cupcakes and invited local businesses and the community to take part in their event. If you are experiencing domestic violence or know of someone who requires help please call 1800 RESPECT.
To help raise funds for the program, AnglicareSA has had two opportunities to collect money at Port Power home games as the club’s charity partner. The first was during the Saturday afternoon game between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs and the second was the most recent Saturday night match between Port Adelaide and Melbourne. Thank you to everyone who volunteered at the games or made a donation to help support this important program. AnglicareSA was also fortunate to receive a private donation of 30 suits to help participants of the Power Generation Program look the part for a job interview.
