About SU QLD
Scripture Union Queensland, also known as SU QLD, is a non-profit organization that has been serving the youth and children of Australia for many years. With a heart for young people, SU QLD has become the largest provider of school chaplains in Australia. Each chaplain is uniquely placed to support our children and young people as they navigate life's increasingly complex issues.
SU QLD was founded on the belief that every child deserves to have access to positive role models who can help them grow into healthy and well-rounded individuals. The organization's mission is to provide these role models through its various programs and services.
One of the most significant ways that SU QLD achieves this mission is by providing school chaplains. These chaplains are trained professionals who work within schools to provide emotional and spiritual support to students. They are there for students during times of crisis or when they just need someone to talk to.
In addition to providing school chaplains, SU QLD offers a range of other programs designed specifically for young people. These programs include camps, community outreach initiatives, mentoring programs, and more.
One program that has been particularly successful is the Shine program. This program provides mentoring support for girls aged 10-17 who may be experiencing social isolation or other challenges in their lives. Through one-on-one mentoring relationships with positive female role models, these girls are given the tools they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
Another popular program offered by SU QLD is its camping program. Each year, thousands of young people attend camps run by SU QLD across Queensland. These camps provide an opportunity for young people from all walks of life to come together in a safe environment where they can learn new skills, make new friends, and have fun.
SU QLD also runs community outreach initiatives such as breakfast clubs in schools where volunteers serve breakfasts before classes start each day; this helps ensure that children start their day with a nutritious meal which helps them concentrate better during class time.
Overall, Scripture Union Queensland plays an essential role in supporting youth across Australia through its various programs and services aimed at helping them navigate life's challenges successfully while growing into healthy adults with strong values-based foundations upon which they can build their lives confidently!
