The opportunity:
Why you might love this opp:
Top Blokes Foundation is a leading young men’s social education and mentoring organisation. We exist to help young men live healthy and safe lives. Every week, our qualified Youth Workers sit in classrooms, sports sheds, and community halls across the country - creating spaces for boys to talk openly about what’s really going on. Through honest conversations and strong role modelling, we help young men build resilience, emotional intelligence, and respect for themselves and others. We’ve worked with more than 30,000 boys and young men, and every one of them reminds us why we do this: because when a young bloke has the right support, he can change his world for the better.
This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape the future of fundraising at a purpose-driven organisation creating real social impact.
