The mission of The Fello Foundation is to inspire a sense of positive masculinity in the next generation of Australian men by helping support and guide their journey to become courageous, optimistic, grounded leaders within our businesses and communities, now and in the future.
The Fello Foundation programs are developed by leading Men’s health experts, several of whom have dedicated over 20 years of the professional careers to the specific craft of formulating the most powerful and effective programs for young men and boys.
With a focus on Outdoor programs, resilience training and Bush Adventure Therapies (BAT), The Fello Foundation is focussed solely on raising funds to provide critical access to effective and dynamic programs, specific to the needs of Australian men and boys.
The Fello Foundation was sparked by a conversation between co-founders and mates, one of whom was a long-practicing Psychologist, specialising in outdoor and adventure therapy programs for men and boys.
Having spent several years developing highly specialised and highly effective programs, our co-founder faced the dilemma of rapidy decreasing access to government funding – because of the ‘gender specific’ nature of the programs.
It seemed, in the often confusing world in which we live, governments lost their appetite to support ‘men’s programs’ because they were ‘men’s programs’, and not ‘gender inclusive’.
Knowing that there continued to be a gaping chasm in health outcomes for young men and boys, when compared to other demographics, The Fello Foundation was formed to raise funds to ‘fill the gap’ where pubic funding was once available.
Naturally, we, with your help, can achieve far greater success as a growing cohort of ‘Fellos’ dedicated to supporting our friends, brothers, fathers, sons and all Australian Boys and Men.
