Cultivating authentic growth

Welcome to our adult mentoring program designed specifically for young men aged 18-24. Facilitated by experienced Youth Workers and normally spanning two months, we help equip young males with the practical skills to make informed decisions, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and relationships within their communities.

This evidence-based program provides young men with essential tools to navigate various challenges, from relationships and drug use to body image and self-esteem, financial literacy, domestic violence, and pornography. Our mentors create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where young men can explore, understand, and overcome these challenges under the guidance and support of positive role models. Join us as we unlock their potential and actively shape a healthy and secure future.

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.
