The Pyjama Foundation screens, trains and recruits community volunteers who mentor children in care to change the direction of their life path.
Our priority is to support the health, safety and well being of our Pyjama Angels, foster families, supporters and staff. Read more about our response to the COVID-19 outbreak and how we’re continuing to support more than 1400 children in care by extending our connections virtually.
At The Pyjama Foundation, we provide children in foster care the opportunity to change the direction of their lives with learning, life skills and confidence. Through the Love of Learning program, volunteers called ‘Pyjama Angels’ are recruited, screened, trained and then matched with a child in care and spend time with them once a week, focusing on learning-based activities. Pyjama Angels read books aloud with their child, play educational games and help children with their homework. Most importantly, the volunteers give foster children a chance to reach their life potential, despite a fragile start. Children in care have the lowest education outcomes nationally. By improving their learning skills, The Pyjama Foundation is making a positive, life-long impact.
Show your support for kids in foster care at our upcoming events!
