Mentoring

On a surface level, our program is built around having fun, but with deeper intentions to educate and achieve goals. We make sure young people feel heard. We value the importance of their own voice to empower them.

Regular one-on-one sessions are built around a tailored program that highlight key focuses, such as developing confidence, social skills, relationship building, emotion regulation and conflict resolution.

Our team is made up of positive role models that are specially-trained to help youth develop skills and work towards their goals through a strength-based approach. We value the importance of building relationships with young people and do so through creating a safe, friendly, fun, supportive and comfortable environment. 

Specialised programs

At Big Leap, we are passionate about our specialised programs. We believe it is important to focus on these areas and we pride ourselves on the positive outcomes that can be achieved through doing so.

This service involves a support worker attending the school environment to provide one-on-one assistance in the classroom. It aims to improve engagement, provide academic support and promote positive relationship building strategies with peers.

School-Based Support

Promoting cultural identity is an important value at Big Leap. We value diversity and endeavour to link young people with culturally-similar role models and engage in activities that help youth feel connected to their roots.

Transition from care 

This program focuses on assisting youth with transitioning towards adulthood and independent living. We aim to equip them with necessary life skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, job applications, booking appointments and accessing community support.

Connection to Culture
