Did you know that there are over 44,000 children in Australia with a parent in prison? Children with a parent in prison are some of the most vulnerable in our society, often facing stigma, isolation, and limited opportunities. That\u2019s where this Yardi-supported nonprofit steps in and supports children to give them a chance to shine.<\/p>\n

SHINE for Kids<\/a> was established in 1982 in Sydney, Australia and is dedicated to supporting children and young people affected by the criminal justice system. The \u201cinvisible victims\u201d are faced with complex, overlapping challenge factors, including family breakdown, poverty, isolation, trauma, emotional distress, interrupted education, stigma and shame, which puts them at risk. They are six times as likely as their peers to end up in the justice system themselves, with 52 percent of young people in youth detentions and 66 percent of those youth having had a parent in prison.<\/p>\n

SHINE for Kids delivers innovative programs and interventions for at-risk children and young people affected by the criminal justice system from infancy through adolescence. SHINE for Kids helps break cycles of incarceration and offenders and builds futures where young people can thrive.<\/p>\n
