Mentoring youth for a brighter future.

Our Lead Tenant Program places young people aged 15-19 with live-in youth mentors, known as Lead Tenants, to help build their independence skills before leaving care.

Lead Tenants are volunteers who live rent-free with young people in a shared household to create a safe and supportive living environment which supports their transition to independent living. 

Lead Tenants act as positive role models for the young people, providing day-to-day guidance and mature role modelling, and more broadly in their personal conduct within the house and the community.

Additional support provided by case managers and youth workers.
