Every student deserves the chance to achieve their dreams. Let’s forge a brighter future together.

Welcome to AVID Australia’s New Chapter!

We are thrilled to announce that AVID Australia is now an integral part of our global AVID family. AVID Australia, a longstanding pioneer in academic and social support, has been at the forefront of empowering students.

Navigating Change Together 

This change comes in response to the difficult decision made by Victoria University to discontinue financial and program support for AVID Australia in 2024. Recognizing the urgent need for support from the schools and students affected, our Board of Directors has chosen to extend AVID Center (US) services to Australia. This involves taking direct support from Victoria University, enhancing program offerings, and actively deepening AVID’s presence in the region.

Our Shared Mission Continues 

Our unwavering commitment to closing opportunity gaps remains steadfast. We acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable work carried out by the AVID Australia community. We extend our deep appreciation to Victoria University for their pivotal role in establishing and nurturing AVID Australia, considering them valued allies in our shared mission.

Joining the AVID Family

To our esteemed colleagues and students in Australia, welcome to the AVID family! Here, you’ll discover a larger network of educators and students with similar passions to yourselves. In addition, you will be given access to our full library of proven curriculum, professional development opportunities, and online resources. Connect and collaborate with peers in the U.S. as we support your journey toward academic excellence, personal growth, and lifelong learning.

Inspiring Minds, Transforming Lives

Every student deserves the chance to achieve their dreams, and we’re here to facilitate that journey. Together, let’s forge a brighter future for ourselves, our communities, and our world.
