WE BELIEVE IN PEOPLE BEFORE THEY BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES.

Every young person deserves someone who genuinely believes in them. Someone who sees beyond labels, behaviours and challenges to the person underneath.

Our role isn't to fix young people or tell them who they should become. It's to walk alongside them as they discover who they are, recognise what they're capable of and develop the skills and confidence to navigate life with greater independence.

 WHAT WE DO 

MENTORING BUILT AROUND REAL LIFE.

No two young people are the same. That's why mentoring isn't delivered from a script.

We build support around the young person's goals, strengths, interests and everyday life — creating opportunities to learn, experience, practise and grow.

CONFIDENCE & SELF-AWARENESS

Supporting young people recognise their strengths, understand themselves and develop greater confidence in who they are. 

EMOTIONAL SKILLS

 Building awareness around emotions, communication skills and developing healthier ways to regulate and respond to what life brings.

LIFE SKILLS & INDEPENDENCE

Developing practical capability through tasks like cooking, money, organisation, transport, employment readiness, health, fitness and everyday responsibilities. 

COMMUNITY & CONNECTION

Building confidence to participate in the world through sport, hobbies, friendships, activities and meaningful community involvement. 

Every mentoring relationship is different. Support is shaped around the young person's goals, interests, strengths and needs.

 REAL LIFE. REAL CONNECTION.

SUPPORT SHOULDN'T ALWAYS FEEL LIKE SUPPORT.

Some of the most important conversations happen when you're doing something else.

Mentoring creates opportunities for young people to build skills, confidence and connection through real experiences — not just conversations across a table.

 The activity isn't always the point. Sometimes it's simply the place where trust, conversation and growth can happen. 

 OUR APPROACH

RELATIONSHIP FIRST. GROWTH WITH PURPOSE.

Great mentoring isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating the relationship and environment in which growth can happen.

Our approach follows four simple stages.

CONNECT → EXPLORE → DEVELOP → EMPOWER 

01 — CONNECT

Build trust.

Take the time to know the young person — their world, interests, personality and what matters to them.

02 — EXPLORE

Understand what's really going on.

Listen deeply, stay curious and explore strengths, challenges, goals and opportunities together.

03 — DEVELOP

Turn insight into capability.

Teach, practise, encourage and respectfully challenge — developing skills that translate into everyday life.

04 — EMPOWER

Help them own their progress.

Recognise growth, build confidence and gradually increase responsibility and independence.

The goal isn't dependence on a Mentor.
The goal is greater belief and capability within the young person. 

 WHO WE SUPPORT

 WHY WE EXIST 

SOMETIMES ONE GOODPERSON CAN CHANGETHE DIRECTION OF A LIFE.

Good People Project was built around a simple idea: relationships can change lives.

Young people don't always need another person telling them what they're doing wrong. Sometimes they need someone who shows up consistently, listens without judgement, sees what they're capable of and is willing to walk beside them while they figure things out.

We want young people to feel seen, supported and challenged — while developing the confidence, skills and independence to create a future that feels like their own.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Thomas Hunt

Thomas brings together experience in disability support, mentoring, coaching, leadership and personal development with a genuine passion for helping young people grow.

His approach is grounded in relationship, curiosity and respect. Rather than positioning himself as the person with all the answers, Thomas believes great mentoring creates the space for young people to better understand themselves, develop capability and recognise what's possible for their lives.

Good People Project grew from a desire to create the kind of mentoring organisation where relationships come first, Mentors lead by example, and success is measured by the difference the work makes in a young person's life.

 MAKING A REFERRAL 

FINDING A MENTOR IS EASY.FINDING THE RIGHT ONE MATTERS.

A mentoring relationship only works when there's genuine connection and trust.

That's why we don't start with paperwork. We start with a conversation.

Then a simple 3-step process:

01 — GET IN TOUCH

Tell us a little about the young person and the support you're looking for.

02 — LET'S TALK

We'll have an initial conversation to understand their personality, interests, goals and support needs.

03 — SEE IF IT FEELS RIGHT

If it looks like a good fit, we'll organise the next step and begin the onboarding process.

 

No pressure. No hard sell. The right fit matters to us too.
