Mentoring, Tutoring and More
We believe positive role models can create a lasting and vital impact in the lives of Young Carers.
Mentors and tutors provide Young Carers with someone to spend time with, provide valuable guidance, and increase social connection. Our volunteers can offer help with schoolwork, provide mentorship and give Young Carers a break from their caring roles.

Holiday Program
Our Holiday Program gives Young Carers the opportunity to have some fun on the school holidays, connect with other Young Carers, and take some time out from their caring role!
Held every school holidays across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, these full days of fun include workshops, arts and crafts, exercise, dance, movies and more in a range of different locations.

Thank you so much to the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition (@ausyouth) for presenting an advocacy workshop to our Level UP participants in the lead up to the federal election! 🌟
