Over the term break, our Mentors came together to reflect on Term 3, sharpen their bike skills and get hands on with the activities young people experience in our programs! 🚲

By learning from each other, building skills and strengthening connections as a team, our Mentors are ready to welcome young people back for Term 4 and keep building confidence, competence and momentum.

Every young person needs someone in their corner, and this week we made that case at Parliament House in Canberra! 💛

Our event in Parliament Courtyard brought our knowledge of what makes a difference in the lives of young people to Federal representatives from across the political spectrum. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Our Mentors know what makes a difference because they hear it every day. Three of them joined us in Canberra to share what young people tell them matters most:

🔧 A mentor who believes in them
🚲 The pride of building something with their own hands
✨ The confidence that comes from discovering what they’re capable of

And the need for this kind of support is only growing. We’re grateful to everyone who took the time to listen, and to all who continue to champion our work!

A great conversation at Parliament House about helping young men thrive!

The TRACTION team met with Dan Repacholi MP, Special Envoy for Men’s Health, to discuss the importance of positive role models, healthy relationships and early intervention in supporting young men’s health and wellbeing.

Connection doesn't always start with a conversation about feelings. Sometimes it starts by working side by side. Through hands-on programs, young men build confidence, connect with peers and learn to support themselves and each other!

When government, education and health work together, young people get support when they need it. Investing in young men today builds healthy approaches to wellbeing for generations to come.

Thank you, Dan, for meeting with us and for your commitment to young men!

Welcome to where decisions are made!

Today, the TRACTION team is at Parliament House in Canberra, sharing the impact of our work and, most importantly, bringing the voices of young people to the politicians and policymakers shaping their futures 🌏

We know young people’s voices matter, and the decisions made about them should reflect their experiences, needs and aspirations.

We’re proud to share our on-the-ground experience in early intervention and the importance of keeping young people engaged in education and connected to their communities.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to be here, representing the young people we work alongside every day. 💛

👷 Nearly $82,000 raised through our 2026 CEO Bike Build! 👷

An outstanding result from our longest running event!

This year marked our 8th annual CEO Bike Build. When young people are empowered to lead, everyone benefits. Young people step into leadership roles, sharing their skills and knowledge with CEOs as they guide them through the bike builds. Confidence grows, new skills are developed, and young people have the opportunity to step into leadership and show what they can do!

A massive thank you to our CEOs who got on the tools and raised funds, our dignitaries who continue to spread the word about our programs, and all of our supporters who make these events possible.

Take a look at this year’s highlights! 🚲
