It offers educational programs such as the Dhupuma Foundational Learning Program, which provides vocational education and training to assist children and young people who have become disengaged from educational settings. The Foundation also organizes the Garma Festival, an annual event that serves as a platform for the practice, preservation, and maintenance of Yolngu knowledge systems and cultural traditions. Additionally, the Foundation runs Dilthan Yolngunha (The Healing Place), which integrates traditional healing practices with mainstream medicine. Through these initiatives, it aims to foster cultural identity, community development, and economic opportunities for Indigenous Australians.
