YOUR IMPACT
When you purchase an ASRC Gift box, you will make lasting change by directly funding education and job skill programs that support people seeking asylum on their journey to employment.
Through providing catering and cleaning services for our two social enterprises, ASRC Catering and ASRC Cleaning, we can create opportunities for employment and training. These opportunities for people seeking asylum build the skills and experience they need to pursue sustainable employment in the Australian workforce.
Employment means far more than just having a job, it provides independence, financial stability and a sense of belonging to the community. When individuals and businesses engage with social enterprises, they are providing Australian work experience and an opportunity for both parties to grow and learn together.
