17 Apr Clontarf Foundation Youth to join STS Young Endeavour
Clontarf Foundation Youth to join STS Young Endeavour Circumnavigation thanks to $20K grant
Four young men from the Clontarf Foundation will embark on the adventure of a lifetime aboard Sail Training Ship (STS) Young Endeavour, thanks to a $20,000 grant from The Geoffrey Evans Trust that will support their participation in the ship’s 2025 Circumnavigation of Australia.
The Geoffrey Evans Trust was established to serve as a financial catalyst to support and inspire Australian Youth to undertake maritime pursuits. The Geoffrey Evans Trust has partnered with the Young Endeavour Youth Scheme over several years, funding numerous participants to join Young Endeavour voyages.
This incredible opportunity afforded by the Trust will allow the participants—young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men from Clontarf Foundation academies—to take part in an eleven-day youth development voyage, building leadership skills, teamwork and resilience while sailing the Australian coast.
The Clontarf Foundation is dedicated to improving education, life skills, self-esteem, and employment prospects for young Indigenous men, helping them build a strong future. The Young Endeavour Youth Scheme’s outcomes align closely.
Through this partnership, these youth will experience a challenging and transformational journey at sea, reinforcing the foundation’s mission to equip them with the skills and confidence to thrive.
During the 2025 Circumnavigation STS Young Endeavour will visit ports including Cairns, Thursday Island, Darwin, Broome, Exmouth, Fremantle, and Albany, increasing access for more regional and remote youth participants.
