Fitzroy Youth Homework Club's future in doubt as foundation struggles to secure funding

The future of a homework club run in public housing buildings in Melbourne's inner-north is in doubt, with the grassroots group soon to run out of funding.

Young Assets Foundation (YAF) founder Mubarek Imam told ABC Radio Melbourne the club was established by the Brotherhood of St Lawrence, and is now run by the YAF and Yarra Libraries. 

Mr Imam said the club had secured funding through the City of Yarra and the Scanlon Foundation, but that had since dried up.

As demand for the program continues to grow across the city, YAF is now looking to the state government for longer term funding — but grant applications have been unsuccessful.

"Now we have interest from three different councils, however we need funding to keep this going, so that we can identify other areas of support as well," Mr Imam said.

"The funding we have will keep us running for the next five weeks but after that, it's really at risk of being closed."

Breaking down barriers

About 150 young people have been accessing the program each year, with about a dozen students attending sessions each day. 

"Young people access it on a daily basis, what's going to be lost is those young people who have aspiration and dreams that are not going to be implemented because they're not receiving the right support," Mr Imam said.

The group also offered a mentoring program where students living in social housing were paired up with a mentor to help hone their goals and break down barriers that may have stopped then accessing additional academic help. 

"Some of our participants are public housing residents and ... most of those public housing residents come from non-English speaking backgrounds," Mr Imam said. 

Full-circle moment

Somali-born Omar Mohamed was one of those students.

Mr Mohamed was struggling at school so he started showing up at a homework club.

It helped him score entry to an engineering degree.

"I struggled a lot with English and maths, and basically any subject I didn't really know," he said. 

"I came straight from Somali, and started the homework club straight away ... and it helped me adjust to the curriculum."

But he said it was meeting tutors who had jobs that inspired him the most. 

"You get to talk to people about what they do, and when you're someone who's trying to find what kind of career path you want, it's a great opportunity to have these people discuss their experiences," he said.

Graduating high school in 2020, he has since returned as a tutor.

"I just told one of the guys I'd like to be a tutor," he said.

"And then I just come there every Thursday for four hours and help anybody that needs help with anything I specialise in."

With the club at risk of closure, he was concerned other migrants would not have these opportunities.

"It leads to low self-confidence because you just think you're behind everyone, you're not capable of anything," he said.

"Without it, I don't think I would be in the position I'm in today."

Dear Farah,

I want to express my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation for the work that you do in the community, providing pathways and opportunities for inexperienced young people to achieve their career goals. You can’t imagine how you have contributed to my career aspirations!. I was both inexperienced and unemployed when I first met you a few months back at Debney Meadows Primary School for interview. You trusted me with the responsibility to do the support worker role at the homework club. Now, I’m a full time worker at one of the schools. Thank you.

Empowering African communities in Victoria

The Victorian African Communities Action Plan was developed by and for Victoria’s African communities.

Victorian African Communities Action Plan progress

Read all about the progress of implementing the Victorian African Communities Action Plan.

The Action Plan was developed for Victoria’s African communities by Victoria’s African communities. Its development was led by the African Ministerial Working Group (AMWG), a diverse group of 22 people of African heritage, from October 2016 to February 2018.

During this time, hundreds of people across Victoria’s African communities gave their views and opinions to help shape the plan. The Action Plan responds to well-known issues, and aims to uplift and support people to make decisions that improve their lives.

The action plan proposed more than 250 actions across six focus areas. The suggested actions aim to create opportunities for all people to belong, contribute and thrive. The actions also build on work already being done by communities, governments and others to support people across Victoria’s African communities.

Victorian African Communities Committee (VACC)

The Victorian Government has established a new advisory committee that will provide advice to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs on issues relevant to Victoria's African communities.

Visit Victorian African Communities Committee for more information.

Implementation Committee

Prior to the VACC, a VACAP Implementation Committee guided the implementation and design of VACAP initiatives. The Committee worked alongside the Victorian Government to implement VACAP programs between 2018 and 2022, and supported communities to respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Implementation Committee represented a diverse cross section of the African Community.

Focus areas

The 6 focus areas for the action plan:

Current initiatives

Employment brokers initiative.

Funding of up to $350,000 per organisation for two years to support community organisations with significant reach into Victoria’s African communities to engage and host African community employment brokers.

Education Initiatives

Since 2019, funding of over $10 million has been provided for the following initiatives to support learning outcomes for students of African heritage enrolled in Victorian schools.

School Community Liaison Officers

School Community Liaison Officers act as a positive conduit between schools, parents and pupils to support the learning outcomes of African Victorian students in eight schools across Melbourne.

Schools funded by the School Community Liaison Officer Initiative, include:

• Northern Bay College
• Truganina P-9 College
• Debney Meadows Primary School
• Hume Central Secondary College
• Charles La Trobe P-12 College

Learning Clubs

Even though my child has always been good with her homework, she's now more into it and shows more initiative than before. Parent of Learning Club student

Learning Clubs provide a safe and supportive out-of-school learning environment where primary or secondary students can participate in activities that develop their academic skills, such as homework, numeracy and literacy. Clubs usually run in terms two and three each year, and children attend once or twice a week at no cost.

Through regular attendance at our Learning Clubs , students are able to enhance their learning and development skills. Students’ involvement with Learning Clubs enables them to access local volunteer tutors who have appropriate skills and knowledge to support Club activities.

Our Learning Clubs may differ across the country according to each community’s identified needs and where the community is located. For example, some clubs provide homework support, tutoring or help with a specific skill set (cognitive or non–cognitive) that assists participating children and young people to benefit more fully from their school based learning.

Lack of educational support in the home can have a lasting impact on a child’s future.

Research shows increased educational levels reduce the probability of current financial disadvantage becoming a long-term problem.

Students from low socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to have lower educational achievement. Often these students are additionally disadvantaged by minimal financial resources and parents who may have low educational attainment themselves, English as a second language, or are unable to provide strong educational support. This can result in poor student outcomes including leaving school early, unemployment or underemployment, poor health, delinquency and possibly crime.

Research tells us that offering learning opportunities outside of school hours is one way to improve the learning success of students and positively influence educational and personal outcomes. Students experiencing disadvantage can miss out on these kinds of out-of-school programs as they are often too costly for families with limited financial means.

Akot, Learning Club student

[The tutor] has a really good sense of humour and is positive in every way. Even if he can't explain a problem to me he will always try his best. He has a lot of intelligence and now is passing that to me. It helps. At home I can’t help. It helps me learn as well. Parent of a child attending a Learning Club

Akot started attending the Trinity Learning Club in Term 3. Initially he was very quiet and didn’t talk to the coordinators or tutors. He often had a serious look on his face and didn't show signs of acknowledgement when someone said 'hello' or asked him a question.

By Term 4, Akot seemed like a new person! He was still fairly quiet and shy, however he was engaged with his tutor and in learning. He also started to smile and seemed more confident.

How learning clubs help

Learning Clubs aim to increase student engagement with learning by increasing students’ academic engagement and achievement.

Students who are able to complete school and homework are more likely to stay in school and complete Year 12.

Watch Tahlia's story to see the difference Learning Clubs can make to students lives.

With the help of the Learning Clubs program, students are able to get the life changing out-of-school learning support they need to enhance their learning and development skills. Help support our education programs.

Leaked email reveals North boss’ dire warning over banned AFL star

A leaked email from North Melbourne has revealed the warning put out to rival clubs surrounding banned star Tarryn Thomas.

‘Embarrassing to call yourself an AFL player’

Coach breaks golden rule in epic rant

Coach’s devastating reveal after tragic death

A leaked email from North Melbourne chief executive Jennifer Watt has revealed the dire warning handed out to rival clubs about Tarryn Thomas.

Thomas was stood down by the Kangaroos twice in 2023 – first in February, and again in March after he failed to show “sufficient progress” in mandatory behavioural training, which had been one of the conditions of his return to the club.

The emergence of subsequent allegations against him resulted in a league investigation which ultimately ended with the AFL handing him an 18-match suspension in February.

Shortly after the AFL handed down its suspension, North informed Thomas his contract would be terminated in line with a previous warning that “any new indiscretion would threaten his playing future at North Melbourne”.

Thomas’ name returned to the spotlight in recent times after Essendon coach Brad Scott sparked heavy backlash when he voiced support for his return to the game.

Now an email from Watt has revealed the warning she offered up to fellow club bosses surrounding Thomas’ behaviour.

“(Kangaroos president) Sonja Hood and I have been talking a lot about this, especially in light of the recent challenges we faced with Tarryn Thomas,” the email from Watt read.

“We were struck by just how hard it was to find programs to support behaviour change.

“And this was for someone with considerable resources and support around them. We eventually found a combination of programs for Tarryn.

“Even though Tarryn ended up completing four different programs which included an extensive combination of education, therapy and participation style programs, we were not able to meaningfully change his behaviour.

“I make this point to demonstrate the depth of the problem and the need for broad reform (in relation to gender-based violence).”

Former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire was full of praise for the work put in by North Melbourne and said Thomas’ return to the AFL won’t come easy.

“North couldn’t do any more than what they could possibly do last year and to be honest, they have looked after this player,” he said on Nine’s Footy Classified.

“Tarryn Thomas seemingly from that email turned his back on it and didn’t take it seriously and that’s why North Melbourne tore up the contract of a star player - full marks to North Melbourne in this situation.

“It will be interesting to see what he has to do to be admitted back into the AFL.”

AFL great Jimmy Bartel, who previously said he would be “incredibly uncomfortable” with Thomas returning , said his redemption doesn’t have to come as an AFL player.

“They are doing the best they can - if they’ve tried four different programs for him, you can take them there, but they want to change,” Bartel said.

“If you’re still invested in him as a person, which a number of people are in the AFL, still keep that investment going - but it doesn’t have to be as an AFL player.”

Before returning to football at any level, the rule stipulates Thomas must have undertaken and be satisfactorily progressing with a behavioural change program which needs to be approved in advance by the AFL.

Thomas is not able to play football at any level until July 22.

Despite the negative spotlight surrounding Thomas, he received support from former North coach Brad Scott who suggested he deserved a second chance with another club.

“I’ve known Tarryn since he was 14 and my view is he’s a good person,” Scott told Channel 7.

“Has he made some terrible mistakes? Yes he has, and he’s the first to admit that.

More Coverage

“I can’t speak to what’s happened in the last couple of years in relation to Tarryn, I haven’t been privy to all the information,” Scott said.

“But I just tend to think that people make mistakes. If you keep making the same mistake, there’s an issue, but as leaders we expect young people to make mistakes.

“So, as an industry, do we just wash our hands and say we’re done with him or do we help him? I prefer to sit in the help camp.”

Max Gawn has confessed that it’s “embarrassing” to call himself an AFL footballer after a second player was banned for using a homophobic slur.

Chris Scott flagged he had some “quick observations” on a couple of hot-topic AFL rules before launching into a five-minute monologue.

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir has revealed he had players “close” to sitting out the loss to Sydney following the tragic death of Cam McCarthy.

Distance calculator

Travelmath helps you find distances based on actual road trip directions, or the straight line flight distance. You can get the distance between cities, airports, states, countries, or zip codes to figure out the best route to travel to your destination. Compare the results to the straight line distance to determine whether it's better to drive or fly. The database uses the latitude and longitude of each location to calculate distance using the great circle distance formula. The calculation is done using the Vincenty algorithm and the WGS84 ellipsoid model of the Earth, which is the same one used by most GPS receivers. This gives you the flying distance "as the crow flies." Find your flight distances quickly to estimate the number of frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate. Or ask how far is it between cities to solve your homework problems. You can lookup U.S. cities, or expand your search to get the world distance for international trips.
