About Whitelion

BREAKING THE CYCLE

Whitelion supports disadvantaged young people to live more positive and fulfilled lives. Our mission is to build meaningful relationships and create opportunities that enable highly vulnerable and high risk young people to reconnect with society and reach their full potential.

Each year thousands of young people are disconnected from our community due to abuse and neglect, drug addiction and poverty. These young people have often had horrific life experiences with few positive role models and little family support. And find themselves caught in a 'cycle of discouragement' that is very hard to break.

Often, if this cycle is not broken, some young people become habitual offenders in our community and spend the majority of their young lives behind bars.

Whitelion opens doors to opportunities, relationships and community for these young people.

It gives them the chance to ‘break the cycle’ through role modelling, mentoring, employment and indigenous programs, outreach services, and prevention programs run in rural and metropolitan schools in disadvantaged communities.
