Hangout for the Homeless - 20 September 2014

Hangout for the Homeless is the first family sleep out in Australia and is an initiative of Kids in Philanthropy (KIP). Our sleepout aims to raise awareness and funds for organisations that support homeless teens and young people in Melbourne.

Families will be “sleeping out” indoors at The Deakin Edge (heated and secured), Federation Square on Saturday 20 September and will be sponsored by family and friends to do so. Families are asked to assemble at The Edge at 5pm for activities, information sessions and dinner! Please bring a sleeping bag and warm clothes.

Registration cost is $60 per family. Please send this link to your family, friends and colleagues to ask them to sponsor you.

This year, we are raising funds for Whitelion’s Nutrition Outreach Support and Health (NOSH) van. This van visits various locations each week offering meals and support to at risk and homeless young people aged between 12-25 years.

KIP is a sub fund of the Sydney Community Foundation. It aims to grow the culture of giving and doing in Australia by engaging kids and giving them opportunities to learn and develop as young philanthropists and changemakers. Kids are empowered as changemakers by participating in opportunities to help other kids.

Kids in Philanthropy (KiP) engages, educates and empowers children and their 
families, with hands on experiences to help communities in need and make 
the world a better place.

KiP’s mission is to grow the culture of giving and change making in Australia. 
Through our programs, we aim to build social awareness, develop leadership 
skills and empathy, and provide the fundamentals of how to become a 
changemaker.


Why Kids in Philanthropy?

We want to grow the culture of giving and change-making in 
Australia by engaging children and their families in meaningful 
opportunities to learn, grow, develop and harness their giving and 
doing power.

We want to address the significant disadvantage in many 
Australian communities that continues to result in increasingly 
negative outcomes for families and children in particular.

How do we do it?

We create a sense of engagement, ownership & commitment from 
children by educating, developing empathy, and igniting a passion 
for change-making.

KiP workshops and events create a forum where children can come
 together & develop relationships and bond with one another.

We harness the potential for children to generate ideas & create 
actionable outcomes in relation to change-making initiatives.
