Mentor Story
Flipping the script on the story of young men’s lives
Welcome to a world where resilience, empathy and self-respect reign supreme. Together we’re smashing stereotypes and reshaping the future of masculinities through long-term, evidence-based mentoring programs for 10-24 year olds.
Join us in this exciting journey as we champion mental wellbeing, break down barriers and empower the next generation of Top Blokes.

“Take on new challenges, join programs, and be open to change. You never know where it might lead you.”
In this episode of Top Blokes Uncut, we hear from Hayden, our Trainee Youth Worker.
Hayden started his Top Blokes journey as a participant in high school. Through the program, he discovered the power of having someone believe in you – even when you don’t believe in yourself. That belief transformed his life and inspired him to help other young men discover their own strength.
“I’ve been where they are. If I can help even one young man, that’s everything.”
Now, Hayden is using his experiences to guide boys through some of life’s toughest challenges, including anger, mental health, and relationships. His story shows that with the right support and empowerment, you can make a difference – not just in your own life but in the lives of others too.

The world is changing, and so are we. We asked our youth council what they want adults to know about young men.
We’re trying. We’re working hard and we’re striving for a better future for ourselves and those around us.
It’s time to leave outdated stereotypes behind. True strength? It’s not about meeting someone else’s expectations. It’s about showing up as you.
Together we’re building a community where young men can thrive by being authentic, vulnerable, and real. No masks. No pressure. Just connection, growth, and support. 🙌
Together, we’re redefining what it means to be strong and we’re showing the true resilience, empathy and leadership in being a top bloke.
