Shoreline was formed to provide education and employment opportunities for First Nations students. This was based on over a decade of experience in the Tiwi Islands, in which Shoreline’s founders created a sustainable garden and educational facility for Tiwi students. The successes and learnings from this project have formed the basis for Shoreline, which aims to have a greater impact in more First Nations communities. 

Today, around Australia, there are nearly 80 young First Nations men and women benefitting from a multifaceted, practical education through Shoreline’s privately funded program.
