Vision, Mission, Culture & Values

VISION
To build and support cohesive communities through intentional, transforming relationships.

MISSION
Brothers in Arms exists to bring hope and life-changing relationship to marginalised young people through quality, long term mentoring relationships.

Brothers in Arms is about life changing connection. Connecting university students, young professionals through to retirees with at-risk youth who need positive role models in their lives! These young people are the ones we often talk about but often do nothing for; they are the unknown youth who the majority will hate, who in reality don’t know any better. We facilitate connections that change the course of all lives involved.


CULTURE
Our culture is friendly, future focussed and enthusiastically youth driven. Staff and board have a shared faith that drives and motivates a pursuit of social justice through supporting society’s most vulnerable.

VALUES
  • Belief in human potential
  • Positivity, enthusiasm and hope 
  • Excellence in service provision 
  • Trust and humility 
  • Pursuit of social justice 
  • Empathy, tolerance and forgiveness 
  • Strength through collaboration 
  • Resilience and endurance 

    “The opportunity for mentoring exists only in a meaningful, trusting relationship between an individual [mentee] and an experienced advisor [mentor]”
