Supporting Young People to Stay Strong, Connected and Focused

Goodradigbee’s Staying on Track Program is a culturally safe mentoring and support program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. The program supports young people to build strong foundations for their future by strengthening identity, culture, wellbeing, and positive life choices.

Through yarning, mentoring, and practical support, we walk alongside young people as they transition through challenges and work towards positive pathways in education, employment, family connection, and community life.

Our focus is to empower young people to stay connected to culture, make positive choices, and build confidence in who they are and where they come from.

One-On-One Mentoring and Consistent Support Workers.

Our Approach

Our approach is guided by respect, culture, and connection. We recognise that every young person has strengths. We build on these strengths by providing culturally safe, trauma-informed, and person-centred support.

We work in partnership with families, schools, and community services to ensure young people are supported holistically. Culture is at the centre of everything we do, helping young people stay strong in identity, values, and belonging.
