Building up boys. Shaping Top Blokes

Welcome to our 8-10 week in-school mentoring program that goes beyond the ordinary. Tailored for boys in their pre-teen years, the program guides them through the complexities of early adolescence with a focus on promoting healthy and safe lifestyles. 

Our evidence-based mentoring program, delivered by qualified Youth Workers, tackles critical issues like bullying, vaping, transitioning to high school and mental health while building key decision-making skills and resilience. 

These boys are not just preparing for the challenges ahead; they’re embarking on a transformative path to become empathetic, responsible leaders and role models in their communities. Join us as we empower them to be their absolute best.

Whilst it is beneficial for a teacher to be present during the program, it’s not mandatory. Teachers are always welcome, and we highly encourage it, though we do understand from time to time this is not possible. Feedback received from teachers who have stayed for the workshops includes positive reactions to the new strategies they’ve discovered to help support their students. Plus when teachers are present, our Youth Workers can then work with them to address any areas of concern or issues they may be experiencing.
We also ask teachers to be part of our evaluation process by completing a post-program survey and discussing any behavioural issues or disclosures that occur outside the program sessions. 
At the end of the program, the boys will graduate from Top Blokes. This is an important and significant milestone and we welcome teachers, principals, local funders and parents support to make this Graduation Ceremony a memorable event.
