Gelganyem Trust and the Australian Federal Government entered into a 'Shared Responsibility Agreement' (SRA) in relation to Education and Training initiatives. Through the SRA the Federal Government provided matching funds of $300,000 to support education and training in remote areas in the East Kimberley. The SRA was announced by Senator Amanda Vanstone, the Former Minister for Indigenous Affairs, on 31 July 2005, when the SRA was signed with Gelganyem Trust. Other partnerships are being developed to further the impact of the education and training programs. The projects currently underway include:
- Holiday Programs for Youth,
- Adult Literacy Initiatives,
- Cultural Curriculum,
- Scholarship Fund,
- Trustee Training and Development,
- Tertiary Education Bursary Program, and
- Parents as Learners Program.
The Gelganyem Trust Projects link (on the left menu) contains more specific details of each program and project.
