Melissa Schultz

General Manager Sustainability Vicinity Centres

Conference Day Two: Friday 29th November 2019

9:20 AM Strategic Community Investment – Supporting Issues that Impact on Local Communities and Improving the Customer Experience at our Shopping Centres

In 2016, Vicinity Centres repositioned their community program from a philanthropic approach supporting numerous causes to one of true community investment focused on the single cause of disengaged and unemployed youth – a prevent issue in the local communities in which they operate and one often impacting on the consumer experience at their centres.

  • Entering into a 3 year corporate community partnership with Beacon Foundation, who work on the preventative side of this issue to keep youth engaged in secondary school to successfully transition to meaningful employment.
  • Running a number of targeted centre based programs to connect local youth with education, training and job opportunities.
