History
The Teen Spirit Foundation was created in 2001 to support programs for young people at risk. The founders were Wendy Edwards and Brian Wilson.
Our Vision
We want to see every young Australian fulfil their potential – both as an individual and as a member of their community.
Key Focus
Teen Spirit funds new and existing preventive programs for young people at risk from issues such as drugs, abuse and mental illness.
Through this, we aim to help young people gain the confidence and knowledge to deal with the challenges they encounter in their lives.
In choosing programs to support, there is emphasis on investments in building new capabilities, expanding the scale of successful programs and on enhancing sustainability of the organisation.
