It all started in a classroom…
Boys to the Bush was established in 2017 by three schoolteachers who were noticing common issues in young men with similar backgrounds. Disconnected, vulnerable and often from a home without the presence of good male role models.
These three teachers (our founders) knew that if they
could give these boys what they each had growing up – strong, positive role models, it could change the course of their lives.
Boys to the Bush focuses on prevention and early
intervention strategies, putting the young man first.
MENtoring, school programs and camps – where it all
began.
Our core strength is our ability to engage the whole
community; farm visits and work experience that
provides a hands-on opportunity to be a part of their
community.
We connect community
We are role models, leading by example and we give our time because everyone deserves to be connected to their community.
Engagement Respect Community
Our Values:
Engagement – we create connections to build belonging.
Respect – we use the power of respect as a tool for success.
Community – we involve our communities as part of the solution.
Boys to the Bush is a registered not-for-profit, community-based charity that focuses on preventative and early intervention strategies for ‘disengaged’ young males.
It has a proven history of being able to engage with and improve outcomes, for some of our communities’ most vulnerable youth.
Boys to the Bush offer a range of programs all aimed at supporting the boys to become better men in the future.
