Young people are our leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. Future Ready creates exciting opportunities to nurture their talents so they can reach their goals.
The latest funding round offers two-year grants of between $24,000 and $168,000. Victorian Government secondary schools can apply.
Not-for-profit groups or social enterprises in partnership with these schools are also eligible.
Future Ready will fund a range of hands-on activities. These will equip students with confidence and practical skills to be the best they can be. They will also help build lasting connections to community and identity.
Among others, funded activities can include:
- mentoring
- leadership
- recognised training or volunteering
- career-pathway opportunities.
Applications are now open. They close at 1 pm on Friday 26 June 2026.
