Flipping the script on the story of young men’s lives
Welcome 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.
Our mentoring programs
Mentoring for Boys
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.

Mentoring for Teens
Foster 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.

We exist so more young males lead healthy and safe lives.
Our vision: mentoring boys and young males to redefine their notion of a ‘top bloke’ 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.

“As males you think everyone around you is sweet and they look like they are doing well but behind closed doors it might not be the case.”
Peeling back the mask of masculinity: Sometimes we may seem carefree, but beneath the surface, we can be wrestling with trying to figure out who we are, what we’re doing and the weight of stereotypes.
Aaron, one of our amazing Youth Workers and mentors explains: “Young men in Year 9 and 10 are probably some of the biggest larrikins but they are all facing the same things – struggles with how to be a man or anger problems so they say. It’s pretty astounding to see that these issues stem from that idea of what it means to be a man and how confined they all feel to those stereotypes.”

What a blast we had this weekend! Our NSW Grad Club winners, along with Youth Workers Angus and Riley, dived into the world of Banksy at the ‘Without Limits’ Art Exhibition. They didn’t just admire the legendary street art; they got to unleash their own creativity by designing their very own tees!
“The grad club is a good way to socialise with other top blokes and talk about what we’ve been through…”
The Grad Club’s all about bringing our Top Blokes together, swapping stories and digging into all the cool stuff we’ve learned.
