Empowering young Men to shift mindset, build connection & transform their future
Tailored training, real-world experience and mentoring
— free for eligible participants.
NSW Government initiative • Delivered by BREED Australia
Break Barriers.
Build Connection.
Create Change.
Many young men exiting the justice system face barriers to belonging, purpose, and opportunity. Change Creators is BREED’s youth-led program that goes beyond skills – it sparks a mindset shift. Through our Learning for Good approach, participants grow self-worth, deepen meaningful connections, and open pathways to prosperity.
We combine lived experience, expert facilitation, and creative media so young men can tell their own stories and rewrite their narrative.
