We create life changing outcomes for teenagers

We train volunteers from the community to become trusted mentors.
Once trained, you’ll be matched with a young person to help them with engagement and wellbeing.
Your support and guidance will grow their confidence, hope for the future and sense of belonging.

Young Australians are navigating a severe mental wellbeing crisis with rising household stress, poverty, bullying, social media impact, and school refusal. Mental illness and youth suicide rates are alarmingly high.

Since 2008, we’ve matched over 15,000 teenagers (aged 13-15) who are showing signs of disengagement and a lack of connection and confidence with trusted mentors and trained over 10,000 volunteer mentors.
