Program Overview
Many of our Tertiary Leaders are the first in their family to attend university, so our support and motivation is integral to their success.
Our dedicated Student Support Officers provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure they stay on the path to success.
Our Tertiary Leaders volunteer their time to mentor our Secondary Leaders at camps, leadership seminars and events. This 'giving back' is a cycle of real-world honest support from those who understand the challenges they face.
After graduation, many Tertiary Leaders return to their home communities to make a difference and inspire the next generation.
What’s included
Students receive fortnightly payments to ease the financial pressures of living away from home so students can focus on their studies.
We also provide ongoing support and mentorship to the Leaders.
