Enjoy Church Ballarat

Kids Hope is Australia’s largest early intervention, school-based mentoring program for children experiencing vulnerability. We train and send mentors into a local primary school for weekly one-on-one sessions.

Providing a positive peer presence in alcohol-fuelled environments where young people gather, educating them on safe partying behaviours, and promoting fun, alcohol-free activities in these places. Currently in university social gatherings and campuses, and music festivals.

These weekly sessions are full of fun songs and rhymes, dancing and movement, designed to engage children and adults alike. Designed for children from newborn to pre-school, we have a music session, delicious morning tea and free play.

Wednesdays at 10:30am during school terms.

Through serving food and offering a friendly smile, we aim to help students start their day well—with a good meal and a positive connection with staff.

We partner with Ballarat High School to help run their Breakfast Club, serving every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00 to 8:45 AM.
