We’re helping young men find a healthier, more honest version of manhood
More than 68% of young males turn to the internet to define what it means to be a man. They’re finding harmful content promoting emotional suppression, misogyny, and aggression. This isn’t just content. It’s indoctrination.
But Top Blokes is here to offer a different path.

This isn’t just merch — it’s a statement.
Every tee represents resilience, strength, and the power to redefine masculinity for the better. When you wear our gear, you’re not just showing up in style—you’re standing up for young men and backing programs that build leadership, empathy, and mental resilience.

From the classroom to the open sea, Cooper, a Top Blokes graduate from the Sunshine Coast, is today setting sail on a week-long voyage from Brisbane to Gladstone.
A year ago, he struggled to sit still and take school seriously. Now, he’s stepping into leadership, responsibility, and new challenges – with courage and heart.
“I just realised how important everything was and how much I could be a better me.”
With the support of his mum, Rotary International, and the lessons from our mentoring program, Cooper’s proving what young men can achieve when they’re backed and believed in. We’re proud of you, Cooper!
You can read Cooper’s story on our website or watch our video when Reece caught up with Cooper to see how he was going before the big day!

“As a teenager, I’m a product of my environment and upbringing. But as an adult, I’ll be a product of the choices I made as a teenager.”
This young man knows the risks that come with the decisions he’s making – and he’s thinking about them differently now.
Youth Workers Danny and Isaac reflect on how in the program we help create space for young men to explore those choices and start taking ownership of who they want to become.
It’s not always easy, but this is the kind of growth we see when boys are given room to step back, reflect, and back themselves.

A big win for our Sunshine Coast team this week at the Rotary Club Caboolture Awards!
The Pride of Workmanship award is typically given to one individual, but the incredible impact our team has made on the young men they support was too powerful to overlook. The whole team was recognised for their dedication, heart, and lasting influence.
Regional Coordinator Reece said, “It takes a community for what we do. It’s a privilege to lead these men who symbolise what it is to be a great modern man.” Yeah team!

It’s been a week of self-care and kindness at Top Blokes as we introduced Wellness Week for our team.
From random acts of kindness, keeping up with our water intake, hitting our steps and connecting with our furry friends and nature, we’ve had an absolute blast.
We’ve shared messages of gratitude, given each other a pat on the back and had deep conversations to grow our connections with each other that will stand strong. Plus we’ve kept each other accountable and supported along the way.
We’re often asking the young men we work with to bring their values forward. This week was a chance for us to remind ourselves of our values as an org – BLOKES – Be authentic, Lead by example, Open to vulnerability, Keep being curious, Empower others and Show empathy.
