We aim to connect young people with each other and with the wider community. Each day consists of multiple opportunities to chat, play community building games and reflect as a group.

We also invite special guests from community organisations to share about what they do and how young people can get involved. We connect teens to TAFE courses, local clubs, volunteering opportunities and more.

Trusting young people gives them the opportunity to develop responsibility, independence and purpose, all of which are essential when it comes to choosing and pursuing a career.

We believe that every person has a deep desire to do something meaningful with their life and we give our teens the time and space to figure out what is meaningful for them. We trust that they want to learn things that matter to them, and we trust that those things truly do matter. We trust that they will learn when they are ready at a pace that works for them.

We expect teens to be responsible with the trust they are given by making good choices about how to spend their time. Our mentors are also responsible with the trust that teens give when sharing about their lives. Insights from mentoring are only shared with the young person's permission or where legally required.

Young people can go far on their own, but they can go much further with support. We strive to provide the best support possible with great materials and resources, passionate volunteers and regular 1-on-1 mentoring.

We are not a mental health care service and we cannot guarantee that teens will engage fully to maximise the support we offer. However, we can offer support to families by recommending helpful books, websites, Facebook groups and YouTube channels to enrich learning at home. Check out our Resources page for more information.
