Ashleigh Gardner Foundation
Turning young dreamers into Champions
Sport & Activities
Unstructured play is key in learning and developing for all children. Sport can be a true motivator in building ambitious young children with positive goals and visions.
Education programs
Education gives people confidence and choices about their future. At AGF we believe education is the single biggest opportunity to empower young Aboriginal kids.
Creative pathways
Art offers an alternate pathway in a young person’s life for freedom and expression. It emboldens children to create something from nothing and develop their voice and their ideas.
Ashleigh Gardner Foundation
The Ashleigh Gardner Foundation’s vision through sport, education and the arts is to empower the Aboriginal community.
Who We Are

Our Mission
The aim is to foster a culture of positivity and a healthy lifestyle, through sport, education and the arts, with the hope of breeding self belief and confidence at a young age.
“Our goal is to Increase the percentage of Aboriginal kids finishing high school.”
