At 12 Buckets, we empower our local young people to thrive, regardless of their background, through our In-School and Community Mentoring programs. Guided by our pillars—Belonging, Mastery, Generosity, and Independence—we help children unlock their potential and achieve their dreams.
Through our mentoring programs, young people feel seen, heard, and valued, and our volunteer mentors are helping them to unearth their spark, igniting their potential!
Since 2015, we’ve partnered with six primary schools and one high school in Koondoola, Girrawheen, Balga and Mirrabooka. Our volunteer mentors dedicate one hour a week to create a safe space where young people feel valued, build confidence, and develop their strengths.
Through this support, young people gain a sense of Belonging, explore Mastery, embrace Generosity, and grow toward Independence. The impact extends beyond mentoring, inspiring them to take bold steps toward a brighter future.

“12 Buckets is an excellent initiative that shows the power of community … and a safe circle of community is a key building block to raising resilient kids. This model could work anywhere.”
