Gugan Gulwan Youth Aboriginal Corporation acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we walk, work, live and learn. We honour Elders past and present and extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who now call this region home. We recognise the strength, wisdom and care they bring to community, and the vital role they play in supporting our young people and families to grow strong, connected and thriving together.

Learn MoreOur Vision
Our vision is to continue to grow and be a place where every First Nations child, young person, and adult has the best opportunity to heal, thrive, succeed, and reach their full potential through our offerings of culturally safe prevention and early intervention support and programs which are guided by the needs of our ACT First Nations community.
WHAT WE DO
We will enable our organisational purpose by working with the community, government, and entrepreneurial stakeholders to:
- Be respected, heard, and share the narrative of the needs of the ACT First Nations community.
- Develop and implement policies, programs and a service system that provide the First Nations children, young people, families, and community of the ACT with support to strengthen cultural identity, heal from trauma, and be culturally supported for positive futures.
- Provide children and young people opportunities to become culturally strong and thriving adults.
- Enable families’ easy access to services needed across all stages of a child and young person’s life through prevention and early intervention programs.
