Our Values
At Our Future Mentors, we strive to improve the life outcomes of disadvantaged young people and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People through four key pillars: Leadership, Mentoring, Sport and Culture. We believe these three pillars give aspiring young people the tools and skills to get the most out of life, including for young people seeking change in a culturally supportive environment. We are passionate about assisting young people and their communities to strive for better Health and Educational Outcomes, with sports being a primary vehicle to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Each program is specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of both the young people and the organisation involved. We are absolutely committed to achieving lasting change for every young person we work with.
