Support Us Our ultimate vision at SU QLD is to bring hope to a young generation through our school chaplaincy service, as well as through camping, community outreach and kids-at-risk programs. Through positive and supportive relationships, we aim to help young people with everyday life issues, as well as the more critical ones like substance abuse, relationship issues, family breakdown, depression and low self-esteem. Committed to this cause, SU QLD became involved with school chaplaincy in 1990. And interest in school chaplaincy has continued to grow to this day.
We need your support
A huge boost of funding from the federal government in 2007 saw the number of SU QLD chaplains jump from 200 to 500 within a very short timeframe. However, the funding has gone directly to the schools to employ the chaplains. Which means that employing authorities like SU QLD have to raise their own funds to provide the critical infrastructure that the system relies on. Also, the government funding is only seed funding. So by 2010 all chaplains will need to once again rely on their own fundraising efforts to stay in schools.
Please support us today and ensure chaplains and SU QLD remain in schools so we can bring hope to a young generation!
