OUR PURPOSE

​Our charitable purpose is to:

● Advance social and public welfare by supporting young people experiencing
disadvantage, trauma, or disengagement.

● Provide educational and vocational training through practical, farm-based learning.

● Relieve the poverty, distress, and misfortune experienced by youth at risk of
homelessness, school exclusion, or justice system involvement.

● Improve physical and mental wellbeing through animal-assisted programs,
mentoring, and personal development programs.
​
● Promote community connection and inclusion through partnerships and collaboration.

We take a holistic approach that nurtures each young person's sense of identity, purpose,
and belonging. Our programs focus on building both practical skills and emotional resilience,
while connecting participants with meaningful learning in nature, community engagement,
and vocational trades - including manual trades, hospitality, art and music.

Our objective is to provide benevolent relief to disadvantaged or at-risk young people across
regional, rural, and remote Australia, particularly in Queensland and the Darling Downs
region, through participation in farm-based programs, animal-assisted learning, life skills
training, and community engagement, and for that purpose to:
​
●Promote and support the wellbeing, life skills, resilience, and connectedness of young
people in regional, rural, and remote communities;

● Provide youth with access to farm-based learning programs, vocational training, and
pathways to employment or further education;

● Foster confidence, leadership, and social participation through animal-assisted
learning, horsemanship, animal care, and land-based activities;

● Promote positive mental health, physical health, and community belonging for at-risk
or disadvantaged youth;
​
●Establish partnerships with other community organizations, businesses, and service
providers to support young people;
