Helping students build brighter futures

Participants undertake a personal development and mentoring program that uncovers and embraces their values as an individual and takes a deep dive into their wellbeing, motivation, resilience and accountability.

The program teaches participants to take responsibility for their actions and encourages them to make positive contributions to their family and their community.
