An excellent final morning for one of our awesome teen mentees as he has secured a full time job as a gardener. Super happy for him and he is rightly very proud of himself. He has worked for us for 7 weeks (8 x 3 hour shifts) and is ready to fly. Here’s the last major project we have completed together - 2 coats of paint on top of the waterproof coating. A proud day for The Beaches Launch Pad 🚀🚀

Very enjoyable morning in Allambie, helping the owner tidy her garden. First day of spring and this garden is already looking amazing. Using gardening tools, building confidence, being in the work place and meeting client expectations. Finished off by a trip to Bunnings to buy new fencing - happy days for the owner, the mentee and myself

A huge thanks to the team behind a ‘Night At The Barracks’ for offering one of our mentees work experience at their upcoming open air concert in Manly.

Working back stage, supporting iconic Australian bands bump in and out. Just what this teenager was looking for ahead of starting a TAFE course in Sound Production.

Super happy for this teen. He so deserves this opportunity.

A wet morning well used for The Beaches Launch Pad and one of our new mentees. We’re nearing the end of refurbishing this stunning pine box. Sanding done, 2 coats of stain done, protective coat to go. Just as importantly we’ve been chatting to each of our amazing mentees about the Seasonal Casual opportunities now being advertised at Bunnings. Deadline is the end of August for applications so we’re busy supporting and guiding where appropriate through the process.

A very solid morning on the tools for our teen mentee today. Repairing a rotten merbau deck in two places with new boards, joists and hangers. Challenging activity with a very satisfying outcome.

On the way back, our mentee listed all the activities we have done together over the last 9 weeks, highlighting how much he has grown in confidence in his own abilities over that time period. A proud moment for The Beaches Launch Pad.

Flat pack furniture is another great project for our teens. Here’s one we started on Monday and completed earlier today in Manly Vale. Owner super happy with the end product, mentees proud of their considerable efforts. Win win.

Well, that was a fun morning for today’s mentee. We’ve been applying a waterproof coating (Drizoro) to an out house that has been suffering from damp walls. First coat done, second coat to be done tomorrow. New skills learnt ✅ problem solving ✅ job satisfaction ✅

The Beaches Launch Pad was proud to join a community event this morning, organised by Zali Steggall , and featuring Kieran Foran, Head Coach of the Sea Eagles.

Much of the discussion centred on how we support young men, listening without judgement, leading by example in highlighting our own vulnerabilities, and going deeper as we ask each other ‘are you really okay?’.

The breakfast showed that there are many many awesome local services and that together united we can make a difference.

We are proud to be a part of the Village for young men on the Beaches.

Removing seeding pods from two palm trees in Allambie using a retractable branch saw and starting the installation of some outside lights. A quick trip too to Mosman to start the tidying of a garden there. More examples of the work we do with our teens. The highlight of the morning however was potentially sourcing some work experience for this teen in the music industry - fingers crossed the plan comes together. We’ll report back if it does 🤞🤞

12/08/2026

A good morning cutting back bamboo and buying materials at Bunnings for today’s awesome mentee. So good in fact that he’s keen to apply for a job at Bunnings.

That sparkle when a teenager identifies the job that he or she would like to do next and we work out a goal plan on how to achieve that ✨✨✨
