Veteran Mentors

Veteran Mentors Veteran Mentors are ex-servicemen and women helping the families and communities of Australia.

Veteran Mentors are a group of ex-servicemen and women who share a common goal in helping the families and communities of Australia. Throughout their respective military careers, the Veteran Mentors have learned and implemented many effective strategies in achieving success in the most challenging environments. These strategies and skills include mental and physical resilience, effective communica

tion, conflict resolution and fear/stress management. With their military background and armed with the lessons derived from operational deployments, the Veteran Mentors have developed a 9-day intensive program for high school teenagers aged 12-17 years old, that is designed to enhance the lives of all participants by providing them with the tools they need to achieve success at any given task. These skills are taught and tested in a way so that the students can successfully implement them into their lives after the program has finished.

Our program isn’t all serious 🤪

Through fun challenges, teamwork, and shared experiences, young people build confidence, make lifelong friendships, strengthen communication skills, and learn how to genuinely connect with others again.

The pride we feel watching each platoon walk away from the program is hard to put into words.

Every group is different – just like every young person’s story, background, and challenges.

They start showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable. They push through challenges without complaining. They begin backing each other, taking responsibility, and believing they’re capable of more.

That kind of growth comes from structure, challenge, mentorship, and a team environment that expects more from them.

We never take that transformation lightly. Grateful to play a small part in helping young people realise what they’re truly capable of.

🚨 FINAL SPOTS REMAINING | JLP 57 – QLD | 27 JUNE - 5 JULY 🚨

Nine days away from distractions.
Nine days surrounded by mentors who don’t lower the standard.
Nine days that can completely shift a young person’s direction.

Some teenagers need a circuit breaker. Others need challenge, structure, and people who expect more from them than the world currently does.

From early starts and team accountability to real-world leadership challenges, every part of the program is designed to push young people beyond excuses and into growth.

Not local? Our team can help families navigate travel and logistics where possible.
Secure their place before enrolments close.

School holidays are coming, but most parents don’t get two weeks off 😮‍💨

While others spend the break sleeping in, scrolling, and drifting further out of routine, your teen could be stepping into something that actually challenges them.

The Junior Leader Program gives young people structure, responsibility, mentorship, and leadership skills they’ll carry well beyond the holidays.

This isn’t time filled. It’s confidence built. Discipline tested. Standards raised.

QLD: 27 June – 5 July

No one is handed confidence on the Junior Leader Program.

It’s earned through early mornings, team standards, accountability, and pushing through challenges when quitting would be easier.

The award matters. But what matters more is what it represents: A young person who showed up for their platoon, earned trust, and proved they were capable of more 💚

Some of the most important lessons in life aren’t learned sitting at a desk.

They’re learned through challenge. Through pressure. Through being pushed outside of comfort zones and discovering what they’re capable of in the process.

The confidence, resilience, accountability, and leadership they build here doesn’t end when the Junior Leadership Program does. They take it home with them.

👉 Winter program places available | QLD 27 June - 5 July | NSW 11 - 19 July.
