A unique experience raising funds to mentor young people
It costs around $1500 a day to keep a young person in Australian youth detention. It costs just $3600 a year for a mentor at Big Brothers Big Sisters.
To help us support more young people, we‘re giving you a fundraising experience with a difference.
By getting locked up you get to support young people waiting for a mentor by raising your own bail!
Intrigued? Contact Emma for more details, [email protected].
Or ready to take on the experience, jump right in and sign up below.
Help break the chains for young people.
Here’s how it works:
Register: Sign up and commit to raising at least $1000 bail for your ‘release.’.
Experience Jail Life: On arrival, you’ll be stripped of your possessions, given a prison uniform, fingerprinted, photographed, and fed prison gruel in the exercise yard.
Mock Interrogation and Court: Face an interrogation before being sentenced to cell time with your gang or in solitary confinement!!
But it’s not all daunting! At 9pm, you’ll break out for a party with delicious, non-prison food and drinks.
