Dunn & Lewis Foundation
The Foundation is a "National Model" for a new approach to youth development. We have created a template to be replicated in other regional centres around Australia. The Dunn & Lewis Youth Development Foundation is a youth, community and government supported organisation created to serve the fast-growing NSW South Coast and surrounding regions.
The Foundation was established in 2003 by Ulladulla's Gayle Dunn as a consequence of the death of her son Craig Dunn, his friend Danny Lewis and 86 other Australians in the Bali bombings in October 2002. Gayle's vision for nurturing local young people, her practical approach and leadership have inspired a groundswell of support across all parts of Australia and overseas.
The Foundation together with many supporters are steadily turning their dream of building the Dunn & Lewis Memorial Youth Entertainment Complex into a reality. Young people were consulted on their most pressing needs and how the complex could be designed to meet those needs.
The outcome is a unique facility and a breakthrough approach to young people's well-being in many regions. The building at Ulladulla is a multi-purpose youth facility of world-class standard which will become self-funding and a national model for youth development.
The job is under way and your support will help bring it to completion. The Foundation is seeking financial support to continue its building program.
