Ladder

“I’d been kicked out of school.
I was drifting and getting pulled into the wrong crowd.
The path I was on was self-destructive.
I didn’t see a way out.
Until someone stepped in.”

One trusted relationship can change everything.

At Ladder, we walk alongside young people through life’s toughest moments, helping them rebuild confidence, connection and pathways forward.

Learn how your support can help young people build confidence, connection and pathways forward.

From touring the St Kilda Football Club facilities and watching training, to meeting staff and players like Gippsland local Alix Tauru, our participants left feeling inspired, connected and confident about what’s possible for their future. A huge thank you to Browny and the St Kilda Football Club for an unforgettable experience.
