Impact 100 + Coopers Brewery Foundation
In 2017, $100,000 from both Impact 100 and the Coopers Brewery Foundation helped Youth Opportunities expand into the South East of South Australia.
The investment enabled us to establish a local team, deliver programs across the region and build a community hub of advocates committed to creating better futures for young people.
“I perceive great value for the dollars contributed to Youth Opportunities. The benefits derived by the students are visible and tangible. Our investment clearly makes a difference to the recipients.”
