Violence prevention education for young people across Australia
Violence prevention education for young people across Australia
Stand beside a young person at the very moment they need someone most.
We give young people the space to talk about violence, bullying and respect, and the tools to do something about it.
Our programs
With the goal of ending youth violence, our programs explore the many forms violence can take and the things that drive it, like bullying, alcohol and drugs, and the attitudes young people pick up along the way. They give young people the confidence to make safer choices and look out for their mates.
From age-appropriate programs for every year level in schools, to whole-of-club programs in sporting clubs, to our eight-week intensive programs, we meet young people where they are. Every program is built around honest conversations, real stories and practical skills they can use straight away.
Sam's story
On 4 May 2008, 17-year-old Sam Davis died after a single punch. His death devastated his family and friends, and the Sammy D Foundation was formed so that no other family has to go through the same loss. We can’t change Sam’s story, but with your support, we can help write a different one for thousands of young people.
300,000+

Participation in programs and discussions has empowered these young people to speak openly about peer pressure, bullying, and the importance of standing up for themselves and each other.
