WHO WE ARE
The Life Choices Foundation is a registered charity that aims to reach, engage and impact teenagers, prisoners, detainees and those suffering from abusive and harmful behaviours, and to provide a framework from which they can make positive choices around some of life’s important decisions. All too often in today’s society we see a young person’s life destroyed, or ended too soon, simply because of one poor decision.
However, people have a choice. They can allow themselves to be influenced by their circumstances, experiences and other people, or they can choose to create their own legacy. It is not easy and often it takes courage. The question for all of us is… will our legacy be a result of our actions or will our actions be influenced by the legacy we wish to leave behind? The negative influences and pressures that young people face today place them at greater risk of making poor life choices than ever before – we need to challenge them to stop and think about what they are doing, we need to encourage them to make the decisions that are ‘right’ for them, we need to inspire them to be courageous and we need to provide them ‘Hope’ for a brighter future.
The Life Choices Foundation delivers effective, engaging and impacting programs that challenge the paradigms and behaviour of individuals, and challenges them to think for themselves, to leave the past behind and to be “courageous” in the face of important life choices. The Life Choices Foundation provides information, education and a voice of reason that equips, strengthens and provides a hope for a brighter future.
OUR VISION
To inspire people to take control and be the best version of themselves.
OUR AIM
To deliver life transforming, evidence-based programs that provide information, understanding and awareness around the circumstances, environment, influences and natural tendencies that impact on someone's ability to make life choices.
OUR PURPOSE
To inspire people to consider the big questions in life.
Who do they want to be, what they will choose as their anchor, what they will use as their compass to navigate life's complexities and in what or who they will place their hope.
