Youth Mentoring & Development

At Little Lantern Group, the safety, wellbeing, and empowerment of young people are at the heart of everything we do. Our Youth Mentoring and Development program is built on a strong foundation of child protection and safeguarding practices, ensuring every young person is supported in a secure, respectful, and nurturing environment. We believe that every child and youth deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Through positive role modelling, skill-building activities, and one-on-one mentoring, we help young people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose. Our dedicated mentors are carefully trained to not only support personal growth but to advocate for each young person’s rights, safety, and voice. At Little Lantern Group, we don’t just guide the next generation—we stand beside them, every step of the way.

We believe every child and young person deserves the space, support, and encouragement to discover who they are and what they can become. Nurturing growth is not just about guidance — it’s about creating an environment where young minds feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore their strengths. By offering stability, positive role models, and meaningful opportunities to learn, we help young people build resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of identity. When children feel understood and uplifted, they begin to see their own potential — and that’s where true growth begins.

Nurturing Growth for Young Minds

Nurturing Growth for Young Minds
Cultivating Confidence through Tailored Support

Nurturing growth in young minds means creating an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to explore their full potential. It is about guiding them with care, supporting their emotional and social development, and helping them build the skills and confidence they need to thrive. Through culturally respectful relationships, positive role-modelling, and meaningful opportunities to learn and express themselves, we empower children and young people to grow into resilient, confident, and connected individuals. By investing in their growth today, we help shape stronger families, brighter futures, and healthier communities for generations to come.

At Little Lantern Group, our Youth Mentoring & Development program is a vital part of our commitment to child safety—supporting young people to grow in environments that are not only safe and respectful, but also culturally responsive and community-driven. We provide trusted, culturally safe mentoring, skills-based workshops, and inclusive family and community events that help young people feel seen, heard, and connected. Our mentors walk alongside youth, building their confidence, resilience, and leadership—while encouraging strong ties to culture, identity, and community. We believe that safety is more than protection—it’s about belonging, empowerment, and the opportunity to thrive. As Nelson Mandela said, “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” And as Yolngu leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu reminds us, “We are all partners in the future of this land—black and white, young and old.” At Little Lantern, we live this truth—supporting young people and their families to grow, lead, and build safer, stronger communities for generations to come.
