This program is national currently running in both Sydney (NSW) and Melbourne (VIC);
The Butterfly Opportunity Program – an ongoing opportunity beyond the SISTER2sister Program for skills development and work experience in collaboration with the community, involving local educational institutions and businesses.
Butterfly Enterprises Program - to extend the reach of positive influence of LCEF by providing enterprising opportunities to teenage girls at risk through relationships with community and commercial partners enabling education, practical skills development, scholarships and the opportunity to kick start a career while offering fundraising sustainable opportunities for the foundation through the products developed in the Enterprise Program. A program designed for at risk girls (including those who have not been a part of the SISTER2sister Program) who have a talent in a particular industry to develop that talent through an intensive education program in that field, design and produce merchandise for fundraising and have an opportunity to win educational scholarships to further develop their talent. Merchandise produced will then be sold to fundraise for the Foundation

Corporate Butterfly Program - Mentor for a Day – an opportunity to engage corporate staff to use their paid volunteer days to be a Mentor for a Day through an introductory pre-selection program for nominations who have missed joining the current SISTER2sister Program. This program will run concurrently and will also allow us to assess the commitment of the nominees. Their mentors in the monthly activities will however vary as will the workshops and activities which will be designed by the “mentors-for-a-day” with guidance from the Foundation team.
