MASP is on the lookout for community mentors to participate in our next MASP Youth Mentoring Program. The program recruits adults from the local community to provide mentoring and support to the young people participating.

Training provided to the mentors ensures that the young people are receiving the maximum benefit possible from the program, which starts in July and finishes with a Tasmania trek in January 2027.

Are you:

🙍‍♀️Able to commit to a six-month program?

Then being a MASP community mentor might be the opportunity for you.

As the MASP Youth Mentoring Program is wrapping up for 2025 we would love to give a big shout out to all our sponsors and supporters.

The Larapinta Trail was certainly a challenging trek for the group and we would not have been able to do it without the direct and in-kind support from our local community, not only for the things we needed to do the trip but also for helping us to be physically prepared to undertake the 65km challenge!

These included:

Specialized Performance and Recovery for hosting our Swan Hill group in multiple ultimate strength classes 💪
Swan Hill Boxing Club for running so many incredible boxing sessions 🥊
Macpac for generously donating hiking gear, including backpacks and sleeping bags.
INTERSPORT Mildura for their expertise in fitting and supplying the groups participants with hiking shoes.
Sparkes Gym for their continued support of the MASP Youth Mentoring Program and providing cardio/boxing classes to the group.

Your support has given our young people opportunities, experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Without you all, this program wouldn’t have been as successful as it was — thank you for your support to our youth and community.

Mallee Accommodation and Support Program MASP YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM LARAPINTA TRAIL 2025 - DAY 6

What a way to finish off our Larapinta experience - an early morning hike up Mount Sonder to catch a stunning sunrise.

The past 6 days have been a great challenge and learning experience for our group to cap off months of training. The experience has shown the young people (and the adults) how resilient they can be and will hopefully empower them to overcome whatever life has to throw at them.

Onto Alice Springs for a celebratory dinner tonight and then it’s on a plane tomorrow back to North West Victoria!

Mallee Accommodation and Support Program MASP YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM LARAPINTA TRAIL - DAY 5

Today the group trekked the amazing Ormiston Pound Walk - a particular highlight of the whole Larapinta Trail experience.

The sights from the top of the gorge were spectacular, while an afternoon swim was a good way to cool off from the heat.

Tomorrow will be a treat with the group taking an early morning sunrise walk up Mount Sonder before it is back to Alice Springs.
