Country Education Foundation of Australia
Country Education Foundation of Australia (CEF) is a national education charity working in six states and territories to foster the further education, career and personal development opportunities of rural and regional youth, through community-based encouragement and financial assistance. Their goal is to help close the education participation gap that exists between country and city students. While financial support is important, the local encouragement and investment in a young person’s confidence has equal, if not greater value.
The work of CEF is driven by more than 450 volunteers who work tirelessly for local foundations to provide grants, opportunities and mentorship to school leavers aged 16 – 25 within their regions. This proven, community-based model empowers rural and regional school leavers to overcome the tyranny of distance.
CEF receives no government funding. They rely on the generosity of individual donors and corporate, philanthropic and education partners who share our passion for education equality to achieve their mission
