WELCOME TO Doxa

Welcome to the Doxa Youth Foundation

The Doxa Youth Foundation (Doxa) is a philanthropic organisation formed in 1972 by Fr Joe Giacobbe with the support of a group of Melbourne business and professional people who shared a concern for disadvantaged young people.

Doxa is a Greek word meaning GREATNESS, which recognises that each individual is important and that the community has a responsibility to ensure that every young person is given an opportunity to develop their full potential.

Doxa's programs are targeted at giving special attention to the needs of disadvantaged young people where they are denied the opportunity for full participation in the community.

Doxa receives no direct Government funding and funds its programs through:

• financial contributions from the Doxa Social Club; and
• donations, bequests and sponsorships from Trusts, organisations and individuals.
