Supporting young people, strengthening systems and creating opportunities for youth voice and change.
Mamelani combines direct support for young people with partnership building, sector strengthening, advocacy and research.
We walk alongside young people as they prepare to leave alternative care and continue supporting them as they establish their lives beyond care.
Strong transitions require more than individual support. We work with organisations and practitioners to strengthen the broader support ecosystem around young people.
Young people's lived experiences can help change how systems understand and respond to transition from care.
ProSEED is a three-year journey designed to support young people as they prepare for and navigate the transition from alternative care.
The journey begins approximately 12 months before leaving care and continues for up to two years afterwards, with opportunities for ongoing connection through the alumni network.
