Welcome to the 2nd
edition of Volunteer e-News
This month's edition of
Volunteer e-news features a story on Links to
Learning - a voluntary re-engagement program for
young people who are no longer enrolled in school and
have not completed their Higher School
Certificate. We are holding another
Volunteer Induction Evening. This time the induction is
taking place at Fairfield. We hope to see you
there. I hope you enjoy this edition of Volunteer
e-News.

Help us create a cardboard city...
...and raise awareness for homelessness
 On any given night in Australia, almost 100,000 men, women and children are homeless (Chamberlain and McKenzie, 2003). Almost half of them are younger than 25. Also, about 1.7 million Australians are experiencing ‘housing stress’ - that is, spending at least 30% of their income on housing costs.
