Mentoring
Mentor Program
As an Aboriginal-led organisation, the value of strong mentors cannot be understated. We know that having role models who understand your cultural and community context makes all the difference, and we are proud to have a team of dedicated mentors with lived experience who work in our programs.
Peer to Peer Support
The Foundation values the importance of strong peer-to-peer relationships – creating meaningful connections between young people within and across communities.
Evidence shows that healthy peer networks are key to reducing risk factors associated with risk-taking behaviours and lead to improved mental health outcomes. By fostering trusted peer support, the Foundation helps build a safer, more connected environment where young people can support each other through school, sport, and life.
“As part of my culture and the way I was raised, passing on knowledge to the younger generation has always been important to me. Throughout my AFL career, I saw how powerful mentoring can be – not just for success in sport, but in life”
