The Open Family

‘The grant from the Snow Foundation enables Open Family to fund many material things for young people in dire need. The purchase of clothing for job interviews, for example, essential medications, emergency food and bus passes.’

Open Family Outreach Worker, Peter Schwarz

Open Family Australia is a non-profit organisation that supports young people at risk. It helps locate emergency or long-term stable accommodation and puts young people into contact with support agencies. It also provides advocacy services for the young and offers assistance in order to keep medical appointments.

Because of the support of the Snow Foundation, Open Family Street Outreach workers like Peter Schwarz are on the job 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They aim to reconnect young people back into the community through education, health and community programs. By providing assistance at all hours of the day, Open Family ensures that these young people receive the assistance they need to get back on track.

‘The Open Family Outreach service is solely funded by donations, so any financial support is greatly appreciated and the money donated by the Snow Foundation goes into visible benefits by providing support to local people who need help,’ says Schwarz.
