The Bramung Jaarn program aims to mentor and support young Aboriginal men aged 10-25 years, along their transition to adulthood, assisting them to grow into healthy young adults with positive support networks within their peer group and the broader community. This is done through one-on-one mentoring with strong positive males and Elders.
• Cultural connection
• Identifying emotions
• Respectful relationships
• Developing life skills
• Self-empowerment
• Team building
• Resilience
Mentors & Elders are volunteer men that provide assistance to the staff and external support for the young men. The Bramung Jaarn program has access to various Elders that have a passion and interest in supporting young Aboriginal men on their journey as a proud Aboriginal man.
Mentors & Elders wanting to get involved in the program should contact a Bramung Jaarn coordinator.
