What Drives Us
Boys to the Bush 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.
Better outcomes for boys and their communities.
Our History
It all started in a classroom…
Boys to the Bush was established in 2017 by three school
teachers 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.
