Creating momentum for a better future.

Mental health & wellbeing, measurably improved

We’re not building champion athletes. We’re building champion people.

We work at both ends of the same journey — supporting adults experiencing homelessness today, and building resilience in young people so that fewer ever reach that point. Outcomes measured with validated clinical tools.

"On My Feet has literally saved my life. I have become a better person — a person who believes in herself, who is growing friendships, who pushes past her anxiety."

Youth RISE Program

For Australian Government Schools & Year 9 students

Build young men who
rise to the challenge

RISE is a 10-week prevention-first program for Year 9 young men, supporting mental wellbeing and resilience. Combining running, boxing, structured workshops and a values framework, it builds belonging, resilience and identity — before disadvantage takes hold. Measured against the validated SDQ and WEMWBS wellbeing scales, and aligned to Australian Government education and wellbeing priorities.

What we do
Wellbeing first.
Movement as the method.

On My Feet runs two distinct programs — one for adults experiencing homelessness, one for young people at risk. Both use movement, education and community to build mental wellbeing and resilience. Both change lives. Both are measured with validated clinical tools.
