Your NCJWA VIC donation will be put to good use supporting:

The Jam Project: 

Recruit, train and supervise more Jam Buddies so that we can offer our Year 9 girls mentoring program to more schools to help girls navigate the stresses of adolescence. We want to help girls become stronger. 

Caring Mums: 

Train and supervise more Caring Mum volunteers to support new mothers from across Melbourne from a range of cultural backgrounds experiencing isolation, depression and anxiety. We now operate in 6 local government areas and recently introduced a weekly ‘drop in session’ in the City of Port Phillip in collaboration with the Maternal and Child Health Services to reach more women.

Older Women (Seniors & GAC): 

Continue to run weekly gatherings that provide social connection for older people, including Holocaust survivors and those from the former Soviet Union, living in the community. These gatherings provide an opportunity to come together in a safe environment and connect with their Jewish identity. Your support shows these people that someone cares about them. 

Advocacy: 

Continue our advocacy work campaigning for the voices of women and girls to be heard on issues of gender equality and equal representation.
