Championing young male voices
21 July 2024
Read MoreWelcome to a world where resilience, empathy and self-respect reign supreme. Together we’re smashing stereotypes and reshaping the future of masculinities through long-term, evidence-based mentoring programs for 10-24 year olds.
Join us in this exciting journey as we champion mental wellbeing, break down barriers and empower the next generation of Top Blokes.
Empower boys to become the confident, responsible young men they deserve to be. Our tailored mentoring, delivered by qualified youth workers, cultivates resilience, empathy and positive masculinities through essential life skills in mental health, relationships, online safety and leadership.
Learn moreFoster better mental health, more responsible decision-making and deeply respectful relationships via our dynamic program for young males. Proven to improve school attendance, our long-term mentoring program also enhances overall wellbeing and helps teens feel empowered.
Learn moreOur vision: mentoring boys and young males to redefine their notion of a βtop blokeβ as resilient, empathetic and authentic. Our proactive, long-term mentoring programs offer tools for growth and wellbeing, fostering communities where trust, respect and multiple definitions of masculinity thrive. More than just an organisation, we’re mentors and allies, empowering young males to find their inner strength and lead with confidence.
Find out moreOur long-term programs, led by qualified youth workers, are designed to create change that lasts, foster leadership and grow boys into adults.
We’re with them every step of the way as they navigate life’s challenges and become exemplary community members.
We’re deeply rooted in the communities we service, offering tailored, evidence-based programs for boys and young men aged 10-24.
Our approach is local, so we understand and can address community-specific needs so every young male we work with gets the tools he needs to thrive
We focus on fostering positive, healthy masculinities and breaking free from stereotypes.
Our programs are dedicated to empowering young males to find their unique strengths, embrace their true selves, and positively contribute to their communities.
We’re an Australian charity dedicated to positively influencing boys and young men. All support, fundraising and donations help us continue to make a real difference.

βI want to make a change in the stigma around menβs mental health.β – Austin age 17
"I want to be a voice for young males on the Top Blokes program." Rafay age 16
" I want to make an impact and help young men improve their lives." Ben age 15
Welcome to the Top Blokes Youth Ambassador Council – seven young men aged between 15 and 18. They came together for the first time united in their mission to champion the voices of young men and shape a positive future.
Dr Christina Jarron, Research and Evaluation Manager at Top Blokes said, "Building programs and goals for young male mental health led by young men is a top priority at Top Blokes. Weβve always used our program evaluation data and feedback as a listening tool to find out what is front of mind for young people. Itβs exciting to now be at a stage in our development as an organisation where we can build and co-create directly with the young men we serve."

State of Origin – The Decider! And Top Blokes Grad Club boys were there cheering on the maroons and blues and hanging out with Youth Workers and mentors, Dayne and Cortlan.
What a game – and an epic evening connecting with new mates and chatting about our experiences during the Top Blokes program.
Here`s what the Top Blokes grads told us:
"It`s a privilege to be one of the Top Blokes, it`s been an amazing experience and I`ve learned a lot to become a better man. I`m grateful for the program." – Darcy
"Being a Top Bloke is the ability to help your community, your friends and the groups around you thrive for success and have a positive and healthy mind." – Vik
"It`s where you get to learn about new stuff and make new friends. When you get to graduate, you do this club called Grad Club. I just won to go to State of Origin and Top Blokes was really fun." – Reihana
"You get to learn stuff like how to be a better man, why you should respect people for their choices and help people when they are going through stuff. In the Grad Club you get to do fun stuff, meet new people and make new friends." – Dylan
If you`ve graduated from a Top Blokes program and haven`t joined the Grad Club head to the link in our bio and sign up. It`s free. Thanks for spending the evening with us boys!
