Western Chances
Building a Bridge to the Future
Western Chances has a vision to see Melbourne’s West working together as a proud, vibrant and successful community.
To achieve this, the organisation, which was founded by Terry Bracks in 2003, assists talented and self-motivated young people in the western suburbs to realise their potential through the provision of scholarships and other related programs.
Creating opportunities, providing inspiration and support at a critical time.
The basic ethos and reason for being as an organisation is that there are many young people who have potential but cannot fully realise it due to either;
- lack of resources
- lack of money
- absence of networks
This is where Western Chances steps in and opens doors. Our focus is on creating opportunities, supporting scholarship recipients for the long term and building the social capital of the community in which they live.
We facilitate career and educational outcomes by creating ongoing economic, social, cultural and educational opportunities where our resources and support can make a difference.
Strong partnerships, focused programs
We are focused on building partnerships and programs which specifically support the development of skills, the building of pride and self esteem, and the enhancing of employment opportunities for our young leaders of tomorrow, and enable the long term sustainability of our organization.
