Our experience

Built on real community work.

Much of our work has been in youth mentoring and mentor coordination — including through Hope Australia Soccer Academy (HASA) and Jesuit Social Services — supporting young people through some of the hardest transitions in their lives. That's included involvement with The Man Box Program, helping young men rethink what strength and manhood actually mean, and the JDI and L2P programs, helping teenagers build the practical skills — like getting a driver's licence — that open real doors.

Communication Fundamentals for Parent-Teen Relationships

The first book begins by laying the foundations and setting up a safe space to have conversations with your teen. Teens are not looking for someone to have all the answers but rather someone they know they can always rely on, trust and that will help them navigate through life.
