Change
a Child's Life.

We strive to help local children flourish. Some children show less resilience at school due to adverse childhood experiences or trauma. Through our one-to-one mentoring program, we create a safe space for kids to focus on themselves, establish connections, and be challenged to grow. We believe fullness in life comes when you pour yourself out for others.

Words from
the Mentors.

Amy, Balga Primary School

"At first I was reluctant to ‘take on’ mentoring with 12 Buckets as I questioned what great skill or life achievement I could offer as someone with the official title of “Mentor”. However, after meeting my allocated student and getting to know her a little, I swiftly realised my question was unfounded as I had exactly what was needed; my time and my attention. She and I have been a partnership for two years now and I can say it’s been nothing short of a joy and a privilege. Being in her life has allowed us each to shine a little both in what we offer the other and in what we receive back.”
