Beacon Foundation is a national non profit with schools in all Australian states and territories, and offices in most. Head office is in Hobart, where the Foundation commenced operations in 1988.
A key strategy of Beacon is to initiate original and innovative projects that demonstrate solutions to youth unemployment and encourage self-help at the local level.
The implementation of these innovative projects relies on the support of schools' local communities and the business community at a local and national level. Businesses provide support to Beacon in terms of funding, services in kind and time.
Today successful Beacon programs are being replicated around Australia.
The Beacon staff are passionate about their work. They bring many years of industry and education experience to their roles and welcome your contact. Please see the staff page for profiles by state of each employee.
The Beacon Board is made up of executives and professionals from a wide range of Australian businesses. These people give generously of their time and expertise to govern the Beacon Foundation. Please click here to see the profiles of the Beacon Board members.
