We are seeking Directors who are passionate about breaking the cycle of intergenerational disadvantage that care leavers experience and finding innovative solutions for providing funding, tools, and other unfunded support to care leavers, helping them transition to young adulthood and independence.

About the CASPA Foundation

CASPA Foundation seeks to ensure young people who have been within the care system will not be left behind by their peers, by providing funding, tools and other unfunded supports on their continued journey to young adulthood and independence.

Care leavers are at higher risk of living in poverty, experiencing homelessness and interaction with the justice system. As young people age out of care and no longer have access to support, they are more likely than their peers to:

• experience Homelessness
• need income support and parenting payments
• interact with law enforcement and the justice system
• need access to treatment for substance abuse
• have their parental responsibility removed

Through providing education, accommodation and advocacy support to care-leavers, CASPA Foundation can help them achieve their goals to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive as vital members of our communities.

The CASPA Foundation are particularly interested in candidates with networks related to:

• Philanthropic investment
