Organisation Purpose
The Smith Family supports families through 1. The Child Sponsorship program (Learning for Life Scholarship) which helps with the provision of all the school components (uniforms, excursions, tutoring, etc.); 2. Wraparound programs that are run either within the school or in an community setting. We hope to increase the students' engagement in school by helping them improve in basic literacy, numeracy skills and post-school career knowledge. It is these wraparound programs that we look for volunteers.
