Youth & Mini Vinnies NT
Youth & Mini Vinnies NT is a rewarding experience. Our staff support the learning and growing of young teams to get involved in supporting the mission and vision of the Society to make a real difference in the lives of others.
Vinnies Youth and Mini Vinnies
Vinnies was born thanks to a young student (Blessed Frédéric Ozanam) who would walk through the poorer suburbs of his community on his way to university lectures each day. The poverty he came across on his travels inspired him to be the change, make a difference and help who he could.
Today, Vinnies works across Australia to continue this legacy…
Vinnies Youth are doing works all across the country to create a more just and compassionate society, from running kids days out and homework clubs, to soup vans, fundraising events, and social justice campaigns.
Mini Vinnies are working with Teachers to learn about social justice with practical applications alongside NT education curriculum and key dates in the school calendar.
Vinnies NT invites local groups to meet regularly to create and run initiatives that meet the needs in local communities. Whether it’s a primary school, high school, university or community group, Vinnies groups (known as Conferences), are making change everywhere.
You can also volunteer at our shops or one of our Vinnies Services.
Members and Volunteers are the heart and soul of Vinnies, you’re sure to find some friends for life too!
