Our Why


We believe in an equitable future where all young people thrive and have access to support and programs that allow them to care for themselves, their peers, and their communities.

We are dedicated to Australia’s young people and the charities supporting them. We work to enhance opportunities for the well-being and continual growth of young people, particularly those facing barriers to accessing resources and support.

We exist because we still aren’t moving the needle on suicide rates and mental ill health rates, especially for our most disadvantaged and marginalised young people.
