Kids Under Cover is a Victoria-based organisation that provides at-risk young people with alternative accommodation, educational and financial support to help them stay connected to their families and community.
Their work is simple, unique and effective. They build homes for homeless and at-risk young people, provide scholarships for education or job training, and offer mentorship to empower young people to achieve their goals. In doing this, they seek to keep families together, and to keep young people engaged in education and connected with their community.
Education Services Australia is highly supportive of the work that Kids Under Cover does to keep young people at risk engaged with their education. A committee of volunteers from ESA coordinates participation and fundraising events for Kids Under Cover.
The committee continually seeks ways for ESA to raise money to achieve specific objectives.
ESA seeks to be a sustainable and ethical company socially, economically and environmentally. In September 2011, the Board endorsed the ESA Environment Policy and agreed that an Environment Report will be published annually to provide a detailed public account of the work being undertaken by the company.
