Venture Out guides bring the young participants into the outdoors, creating a safe space in which they can feel comfortable enough to talk about the issues relevant to their health and wellbeing.
We find that young men open up more once they are engaged in exciting, fun and challenging experiences and activities. Once we get them out of the classroom and sitting around a fire, we immediately see a change in their engagement and enthusiasm. With the scene set, we are then able to open up discussions around topics that would traditionally be challenging for young men to explore.
