At Ripple Learning, our purpose is to create a sustainable ripple effect of positive change. We do this not only through our learning programs but also by reinvesting profits into youth mental health services that support those most often left behind—the 'forgotten' or 'missing' middle.
The 'forgotten middle' are young people experiencing complex mental health challenges
who fall through the gaps of Australia’s current mental health system. While governmentservices often focus on either early intervention or the most acute cases, these young people need ongoing, expert, multidisciplinary support that is often hard to access. Ripple Learning is proud to play a part in supporting the organisations that step in to help.
We are proud to support two exceptional organisations that provide frontline, effective, and compassionate mental health support to young people:
KYDS has been providing free, confidential counselling and mental health support to young people and their families since 2005. Their services are tailored to meet the needs of young people who are navigating significant life challenges and require more sustained support than many mainstream services can offer.
Stepping Stone House supports homeless and at-risk young people through long-term accommodation, life skills programs, and mental health support. Their wraparound approach gives young people a safe, stable environment where they can heal, grow, and thrive.
Each year, Ripple Learning reinvests profits into not-for-profit organisations that meet a rigorous set of criteria. Beneficiaries are selected based on:
Each January, we open a window for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from eligible organisations who wish to be considered as a future beneficiary. While we are not currently accepting EOIs, you can visit our EOI page to learn more about the process and requirements for future consideration.
Every workshop you attend or partner program you undertake with Ripple Learning helps support these vital services. Thank you for helping us build a ripple of real, lasting change in the lives of young people.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) to Become a Beneficiary
At Ripple Learning, we are committed to giving back in meaningful, sustainable
ways. Each year, we reinvest profits from our learning programs into organisations that deliver high-impact mental health services to young people who are often overlooked by mainstream systems.
Our goal is to support youth mental health services that are closing the gap
for the ‘forgotten’ or ‘missing middle’—young people who need expert, long-term support but are not adequately served by existing government-funded services.
Eligible organisations must meet all the following criteria:
We open our EOI process approximately every 2 years, with successful applicants approved for a two-year Funding Period. This process includes:
