We are a national book industry charity dedicated to lifting literacy levels in remote Indigenous communities, so all children across Australia have the same choices and opportunities.
Gifts engaging, new, culturally appropriate books to communities that need them. We have supplied 537,100 books to over 400 communities, featuring at least 40% by Indigenous authors and illustrators.
Promotes early literacy and familiarity with books in children under five with a dedicated story-time session. Carers are supported to share books with their children in home languages and in English.
Produces and publishes books by Indigenous people for Indigenous people. These books are important because they represent culture, community life and language.
About three and a half hours north of Alice Springs, some 20 kilometres to the east off the Stuart Highway in the NT, lies the community of Alekarenge. Here, four mornings a week, about 20 to 30 zero to five year olds and their parents and carers attend a Families as First Teachers (FaFT) playgroup.
Our Foundation has been working with Families as First Teachers (FaFT) programs for a number of years. FaFT is an early learning and family support program for remote Indigenous families, whose aim is to support children's learning and development, by working with Indigenous families and children prior to school entry.
The ILF are now recruiting for a part time Marketing Assistant role (Identified). If you are interested in getting hands-on experience in marketing, with a particular focus on Social Media, we are looking for someone to assist 2 – 3 days per week, with the possibility of moving to a full-time role over time.
