Empowering students to lead with empathy

Anglicare WA partners with schools to inspire young people to take action against disadvantage. Through education and engagement, students learn how they can make a real difference in their communities.

Building awareness and compassion

Participating in programs like Standing Together or the School Sleep Out helps students understand social justice issues and the challenges faced by people in WA.

Learning, Helping, and Growing

Many people in our communities face tough times, like not having a safe place to live, struggling with mental health, or not having enough food. These challenges can feel overwhelming, especially for young people.

But when students take action, they learn that their voices matter. Even small acts of kindness—like raising awareness, helping others, or starting a conversation—can make a big difference. Every student has something unique to offer, and being part of a caring school community helps them feel proud, connected, and ready to make positive change.

Getting involved in the community helps students build empathy, resilience, and reflect on how they can contribute to a fairer, more caring society. Most importantly, they help create a world where everyone feels like they belong. 

This kind of learning goes beyond textbooks. It shapes character and empowers young people to take initiative and drive positive change.

When your school supports this kind of learning, you’re not just raising funds or awareness—you’re helping raise compassionate leaders and active citizens who will carry these values with them for life.
