The Dunn and Lewis Youth Development Foundation Ltd. was established in 2003 by Gayle Dunn in response to the death of her son Craig Dunn, his friend Danny Lewis, and 86 other Australians in the Bali bombings of October 2002. The Foundation was formed to enable young people access to more opportunities and support in order to live engaged and more fulfilling lives. Young people of the Milton Ulladulla region were the primary advisory body in the initial development of the Foundation and centre.
Our Mission is to provide access to services and create new opportunities for all youth to live their best lives.
Our Vision is that all youth are able to live their best lives.
We aim to provide:
- Trauma, grief and loss services.
