In November 2024, Hungry Jack’s kicked off their campaign to support young Australians on our core Learning for Life program. Learning for Life provides each student with:

Financial assistance to help pay for school essentials like uniforms, textbooks and excursions.
Support from a Family Partnerships Coordinator (FPC), who works closely with the student and their family to problem-solve any barriers to education.
Access to various short programs to improve literacy, numeracy and digital literacy outcomes, and connections to mentoring and career-related opportunities.

By supporting the education of children in need, Hungry Jack’s is helping students to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty. Together, we’re brewing up positive change for young Australians around the country.
