For schools, councils & community

Back the people
who will shape what’s next.

Help young people in Wellington Shire and wider Gippsland connect their interests with a wider world of possibilities.

Small enough to learn. Ambitious enough to matter.

A purposeful first pilot.

Individual online mentoring, a practical project and a relationship that takes each young person’s direction seriously.

We’re seeking suitable funding and delivery partners for a small founder-led pilot with 13–17-year-olds. The ambition is stronger independent thinkers, creators and future leaders, grounded in what participants actually find useful.

The first pilot should demonstrate useful change and sustainable delivery before more places or mentors are added.

Ways to help it happen

Fund the whole relationship

Mentoring time, preparation, coordination, independent safeguarding support, accessibility and evaluation all need capacity.

Bring a delivery foundation

Explore an appropriate auspice, local coordination, referral arrangements and responsibilities that are clear to everyone.

Open a wider world

Help identify relevant stories, expertise and practical opportunities, with checked involvement and boundaries agreed first.

What we intend to learn

Measure what matters.
Learn before scaling.

Start with a participant-chosen direction and what would make the experience worthwhile. Ask what they tried, whether they felt listened to and what they want to do next.

Review participation, barriers, feedback and the actual time and cost of delivery. A small pilot can guide improvement; it cannot prove long-term impact by itself.

Project ownership stays with the young person. Public work, testimonials and optional evaluation require separate appropriate permission.
