How This Charity Supports the Community
Red Frogs Australia is a Christian youth charity dedicated to supporting, serving, and safeguarding young people across the nation. Founded in 1997, it began with a small group of volunteers who recognised the need for a positive peer presence during high-risk events like Schoolies Week, where alcohol and drug use are prevalent. The organisation has since grown into a nationwide movement, staffed by thousands of volunteers known as the “Red Frogs Crew,” who actively engage with young people in various social settings to promote safety and well-being.
Mission and Vision
The core mission of Red Frogs Australia is to provide a positive peer presence in alcohol-fuelled environments where young people gather, educating them on safe partying behaviours and promoting alcohol-free or diversionary activities. Their vision is to reduce suffering and safeguard a generation by empowering young people to make positive life choices and become voices of change within their culture.
