We are very excited to be partnering with Well Education to offer a FREE fun and engaging after-school life skills program for young men aged 12-14.


Great Mates - Young Men Empowered aims to encourage self-worth, resilience, confidence, and mateship in a collaborative and welcoming environment. It's all about participants connecting over fun and engaging activities, developing friendships, improving themselves and being a part of their community.


Everyone who attends will be welcomed into a safe and accepting space, a place to connect, have fun and make friends.


Great Mates will run over 8-week blocks on Thursdays with the first session running from the 11th of May - 29th of June. Due to funding from the NSW Government this program is FREE for the entire 8-week duration and all resources and refreshments will be provided.
