At Veteran Mentors, we believe in second chances, resilience, and the power of purpose. Our team is made up of former Defence Force and Emergency Services personnel who have traded the front line for a new kind of mission – guiding young Australians to find their strength, discipline, and direction in life.
You’ve served your country or community. Now, serve the next generation. Become a Veteran Mentor and help young Australians, all while being part of a team that values humility, courage, and leaving a legacy.
Veteran Mentors is a veteran-led organisation dedicated to empowering young people through structure, discipline, and positive role modelling. We deliver immersive programs that help struggling youth rediscover their confidence, build resilience, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Our mentors combine their lived experience, compassion, and leadership to create real, lasting change in the lives of others.

Your impact will leave a mark.
