Who we are

Galilee has served the Canberra community through caring for disadvantaged babies, children and young people for over twenty years. Galilee is a community based not-for-profit organisation that addresses the immediate needs of children and young people while also concentrating on prevention strategies.

Galilee emphasises the value of each individual and promotes social justice, equity, access and participation. The focus of our work will always be to work for and on behalf of the most disadvantaged babies, children and young people in our community.

Galilee provides the community with:

• Foster care for children aged 0–18.

• The Galilee School offering alternative education for disadvantaged young people.
• LIFT living skills development for teenagers through education, training and personal development.
