Port Adelaide has been given the opportunity to fund an exciting new community initiative through the state government's YourSay program.

The club has been shortlisted to win a $50,000 grant to roll out the Optimistic Kids initiative, which will help young people focus on positive thinking, positive mental health and resilience.

But the club needs your help to make this wonderful program happen! The winner of the grant will be decided by public vote, so we need as many votes as possible from our Port Adelaide community.

The program will implement strategies to help them in their lives by identifying their own strengths and helping them to overcome obstacles stopping them from getting to where they want to be.

It’s an incredible opportunity for Port Adelaide to continue making a difference to young people’s lives in our community.

Simply head to the YourSay website and click 'vote for this idea'.

Voting ends at 5pm on Monday.

Thanks for your support – the club really appreciates it!
