Our vision

We envision children having every opportunity to engage in their education, and become independent young people who have a sense of belonging and contribute to society through their skills and generosity.

 

12 Buckets sees the One-to-One Mentoring as a fundamental program for every school; available to every child. Our ambition is driven by the impact we have seen so far – and we believe this can be scaled up beyond our current community. We know that through sustainable growth of our resources and funding, we will be able to make this a reality in the future.

What are the 12 Buckets?

Our underlying philosophy, that fullness in life comes when you pour yourself out for others, shapes the 12 Buckets program which is based on the circle of courage.

The Guiding Buckets Model focuses on Belonging, Generosity, Mastery and Independence that are universal growth needs that support the social and emotional wellbeing and development of a child. Each of these are supported by three principles:
