Education can open doors to opportunities that shape a person’s future, particularly for young people who face barriers to accessing quality education. Supporting students throughout their educational journeys can help create pathways toward greater confidence, leadership, and long-term opportunity.
Yalari provides quality, secondary education opportunities for Indigenous children from regional, rural, and remote communities. Through education, mentoring, and ongoing support, Yalari helps students develop the skills and confidence needed to pursue their aspirations and become future leaders. To celebrate the achievements of its students and alumni, Yalari is hosting its Melbourne Gala Dinner 2026.
The event will take place on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, from 6:30 PM, at RACV City Club. Under the theme “Connecting our Victorian Community,” the evening will bring together Yalari supporters, students, alumni, and community members to celebrate educational journeys and the leadership pathways being created through education.
Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, live entertainment, silent and live auctions, raffle prizes, and inspiring stories shared by students, alumni, and members of the Yalari community. The evening provides an opportunity to celebrate student achievements while strengthening the community of supporters behind their education. More than a formal celebration, the Melbourne Gala Dinner highlights the power of education to create lasting opportunities and empower young people to build brighter futures.
Reserve your place here to celebrate Yalari’s students and alumni while supporting educational opportunities and leadership pathways for Indigenous young people.
