EMERALD-based organisation, Echo Youth and Family Services, has been awarded a $9900 Westpac Foundation Community Grant in support of their remarkable work in helping young people.
Echo Youth and Family Services aims to help young people discover their potential.
The grant will go towards funding mentoring and training programs to enable young people to prepare for their futures.
In addition to the grants, Westpac supports local communities through social change fellowships, which are now open to 10 inspirational leaders who have a vision to create social change.
The scholarships of up to $50,000 are designed to give scholars the time and space to develop skills, knowledge and networks to bring their idea to life.
