The ICEA (Indigenous Communities Education & Awareness) Foundation is a Perth based not-for profit organisation that works to build mutual respect between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. ICEA is youth run and operated and works with young people in the Perth metropolitan area, Broome and the Dampier Peninsula region of the Kimberly.

ICEA Foundation was established in 2007, after CEO Lockie Cooke visited One Arm Point on a school trip in 2006. After a series of community consultations, Lockie initiated the Indigenous Communities Education Appeal (ICEA) to improve school attendance among primary school students on the Dampier Peninsula.

Strong community support resulted in ICEA’s rapid growth and in 2013, ICEA programs impact students in 12 High Schools in Perth and Broome and reach out to students in 3 Kimberly Primary Schools. ICEA’s staff, volunteers, advocates, programs and activities are united by the shared recognition of the value of harmony, reconciliation and respect.

ICEA hopes to encourage young Australians to take an active and ongoing role in promoting Reconciliation by creating opportunities for passionate young people from local schools and community groups to have their voices heard.

By operating youth-focussed leadership programs and forums, we aim to better understand, and subsequently address, the specific issues and challenges faced by young people in WA.
