The Gugan Gulwan Young Men’s Mentoring Group is a tailored targeted program for young men aged 8 – 12 years.

- Cultural awareness and practices
- Living skills
- Nutrition
- Healthy relationship awareness
- Identifying and building informal and formal support networks
- Social/community inclusion
- Self-confidence /self-esteem/resilience
The Gugan Gulwan Young Men’s Mentoring Group meets every Thursday from 4-6pm during school terms at Gugan Gulwan. To register your interest in the Young Men’s Mentoring Group program please click here.
