The mission of The Compass Award Australia is to advance the education, life experience and compassion of young people, with a focus on supporting youth with disabilities or who are otherwise disadvantaged.
To achieve this we offer experiential learning programs which build life skills, confidence, self-esteem, resilience and assist young people to find their purpose and place.
To support and enable inclusive participation in our programs we provide financial and other support to those in need, however most of the impact we achieve is through the direct work of our team.
