Our Big Dream
Empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people through sport and leadership
We design and facilitate programs for Indigenous young people that encourage them to chase big dreams.
We listen to young people and enable their voices to directly inform our approach.
We create culturally safe environments and allow young people to explore their identity.
Our Three Pillars
HOW
With the help of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers, psychologists and leaders we have developed a curriculum around three key pillars – Culture, Leadership and Social & Emotional Wellbeing.
Our young people build confidence in each pillar through age-based programs delivered in schools, on Country and on the sporting field.
Made by MOB
We know mob know best and self-determination is key. That’s why all of our programs are designed and delivered by mob. We listen to community, Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders to make sure what we do works.

WHERE WE STARTED
OUR STORY
In 2011, Richmond Football Club established the Korin Gamadji Institute (KGI) as a centre of cultural strength and learning for Indigenous youth.
The words Korin Gamadji mean to ‘grow and emerge’ in Woiwurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri people. These words were gifted to the Club by Wurundjeri Elders for the creation of KGI.
Since then, KGI have contributed to the growth of over 3000 emerging Indigenous leaders through Indigenous-led and designed programming and education and that number continues to grow.
KGI helped me feel strong confident connected calm
At KGI we spend a lot of time listening to young people and the people that support them. It helps to keep us on track and make sure our programs are delivering what’s needed.
