Social Foundry

The Social Foundry is a social enterprise that seeks to empower communities to mentor, nurture, and impart life-skills to at-risk people in their local neighbourhoods.

All national Australian data suggests a growing disconnection within society for at-risk people. Our dream is to create a mentoring workplace that provides new opportunities for those with limited opportunity, and to make space for the many strengths within lives that have been affected by serious disadvantage.

No single event leads someone to acts of crime or questionable activity or behaviour, but rather an array of social environments and crises. We not only recognise this, but want to play a redeeming part in creating new social environments and events for people to learn, love, and live in.

Established in 2015, the Social Foundry is made up of three primary focus units which all facilitate workplace mentoring with our participants on a short, medium and long term basis. These focus units include:

• Woodworking and Carpentry Training

• Conservation Land Management

• Hospitality - this is our newest project located in Kyneton, Victoria
