Education and Youth Engagement

 

Strong Culture, Strong Minds, Strong Futures


At First Nation Services, we believe that every young person deserves to grow up strong in their culture, confident in their identity, and supported in their learning journey.

Our Education and Youth Engagement programs are designed to reconnect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth with their roots while building the skills and confidence they need to succeed at school, in life, and beyond.

We partner with families, schools, and communities to create safe, empowering spaces for learning, leadership, and cultural pride.

What we offer


Cultural Learning After-School Programs


These programs provide a safe space for children and youth to connect with culture, community, and learning outside the classroom.

Activities include:

  • Traditional arts, crafts, and dance
     
  • Language learning and storytelling
     
  • Social and emotional wellbeing support
     
  • Homework help and mentoring
     

What we offer

 

 

First Nations Mentoring in Schools


We place culturally strong mentors into schools to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our mentors:

  • Build trust and relationships with students
     
  • Help bridge gaps between schools and families
     
  • Provide guidance, advocacy, and positive role modelling
     

What we offer



On-Country Youth Leadership Programs


Our On-Country programs reconnect young people with culture and Country while developing life skills and leadership qualities.

Key outcomes:

  • Connection to Elders and Traditional Knowledge
     
  • Cultural learning, team-building, and resilience
     
  • Empowerment through identity and responsibility
     

What we offer

 

Literacy and Numeracy Tutoring


Our tutors work with students one-on-one and in small groups to boost confidence and academic success in reading, writing, and maths.

Our approach:

  • Culturally responsive teaching
     
  • Strengths-based learning support
     
  • School partnerships and tailored plans
     

What we offer

Big Bro / Sis Program


Designed for young people disengaged from school, this one-on-one mentoring program matches them with a trusted older youth mentor — a “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” figure — who walks beside them on their journey back into education, training, or positive pathways.

Key features:

  • Regular check-ins and cultural mentoring
     
  • Support with school re-engagement or life goals
     
  • Positive role modelling and community connection

Why This Matters



Education is about more than marks — it’s about connection, identity, and the confidence to dream bigger. By embedding culture into learning, we help young people walk strong in both worlds.
