We have some incredible news to share! One of our very first New Horizons Certificate I in Construction graduates has just secured himself a full-time job. 🛠️🏗️
At just 15 years old, his work ethic is already inspiring. However, he’s facing a significant hurdle: he doesn't have a license yet, and his new job involves a 7km commute with a very early start.
To make this opportunity work, he’s reached out to see if we can help him secure an electric scooter so he can get to the site safely and on time. 🛴
The Goal:
We have identified the right scooter for the job, which costs $799. We are looking to our amazing community to help us raise these funds to get this young man on the road.
Why this matters:
Gaining full-time employment at 15 is a life-changing milestone. It’s about more than a paycheck—it’s about independence, responsibility, and building a foundation for a lifelong career. We want to ensure that transportation isn’t the thing that stands in the way of his success.
How you can help:
If you can chip in—no matter the amount—it will go directly toward giving this local legend the start he deserves.

🎉 What a day at Wilbur Street!
Yesterday’s first birthday celebration was nothing short of spectacular — a powerful reminder of what community looks like when people come together. Families, local leaders, youth, and organisations all turned out to celebrate everything the Wilbur Street Youth Centre has achieved.

Massive congratulations to Rekon for the incredible work you’ve done in building such a strong, inclusive space for young people. It’s been an absolute pleasure partnering with you and being part of this journey.

We can truly see God’s hand at work in our community — bringing people together, restoring hope, and creating opportunities for young people to rise. Overflow Foundation was proud to stand alongside so many passionate changemakers, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. 🙌
