About

Built for young people, and the people walking beside them.

Sole Purpose is a youth-support organisation working across mentoring, family support, school programs, and consulting. We partner with families, schools, community services, agencies, and organisations to support young people through practical, coordinated care.

Why we exist

No young person should have to move through challenge alone.

Young people rarely exist in one setting. What happens at home can affect school. What happens at school can affect behaviour. What happens socially can affect confidence, identity, and wellbeing.

Sole Purpose works with the full picture. We support young people directly, while also working with the families, schools, services, and systems around them.

What we do in practice

Our work spans one-to-one teen mentoring, case management and family support, school-based programs, and consulting for organisations and agencies.

How we create impact

We support young people directly, coordinate the systems around them, and advise organisations responsible for delivering youth services.

Our Approach

Support that is calm, considered, and easy to follow.

We begin by understanding the young person’s needs and the systems already around them. From there, we define the scope of support, agree on the right approach, and maintain clear communication with everyone involved.

01

Understand

We take time to understand the young person, their context, and the supports already in place.

02

Scope

We define the focus of support, expected outcomes, roles, communication points, and review process.

03

Support

We deliver mentoring, family support, school programs, or consulting in a way that is steady and practical.

04

Review

We check progress, adjust where needed, and keep referrers, families, schools, and partners informed.
