Earlier this year, we renewed our partnership with Clontarf Foundation, backing their mission to support the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem, and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men around Australia. 
 
Since 2014, we have actively supported Clontarf and have been fortunate to have the opportunity to engage with students, attend Clontarf events, and host student Open Days and project visits to encourage their interest in STEM careers.

Peter Bennett, Clough CEO, said: “Clough’s decade-long partnership with Clontarf Foundation is a source of great pride for our organisation. We’ve seen the foundation evolve nationally and feel privileged to be a part of the journey. I look forward to the continued success of our partnership, supporting Clontarf and ensuring the young men in their programs continue to build upon their skills, capabilities, and prospects to positively shape their own destinies.”

Gerard Neesham, Clontarf CEO, added: “Clontarf has grown from 3,000 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in 2014 to over 11,500 this year, and Clough has been an important partner in helping us reach that significant number. We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Clough and we’re excited to reach even more young men across the country.”

Clontarf Foundation has been successful in helping young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men improve their self-esteem and confidence through supportive relationships, a welcoming environment, and a diverse range of activities, enabling them to engage positively in education, employment, and society.

Since its establishment in 2000, the Clontarf Foundation has supported over 7,100 young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in completing Year 12 and securing employment.
