Ember Connect launches Early Sparks mentoring initiative with support from CAGES Foundation

Ember Connect is excited to launch Early Sparks, a new mentoring initiative designed to elevate First Nations mums of children aged zero to five. This has been made possible through a generous $25,000 dollar grant from the CAGES Foundation.

Early Sparks will offer personalised mentoring, peer group sessions, expert led monthly workshops and culturally grounded digital resources. Delivered online, the program is accessible to mums in regional, remote and urban communities.

General Manager Narelle Henry said: “Early Sparks is about wrapping around mums with support, knowledge and connection in a way that honours culture and family. We are very thankful to the CAGES Foundation for supporting this vision.”

More details on how to join will be shared soon.

Ember Connect wishes to acknowledge the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and we honour their deep continuing connection to land, sky, waterways and community.

We pay our respects to our Elders past, present and emerging who illuminate our journey to truth-telling, culture and conservation, which remains stronger than ever.
