No Lights No Lycra Education is passionate about creating positive mental health programs for youth, utilising best practice models for meaningful youth engagement, youth mentoring, mental health promotion working with educators and teenage boys, girls & gender diverse students between 12-18 years within their school community.

No Lights No Lycra Education programs: 

• Provide young people with coping tools and skills to prioritise and manage their mental, emotional and physical health;
• Utilise peer mentoring and leadership to encourage young people to prioritise their physical and mental health
• Create safe and inclusive spaces for young people to strengthen connection to self and others, build self-esteem, improve self-expression and confidence in a non-judgmental, non-threatening environment
• Offer an alternative for young people to engage with physical movement and exercise that is not competitive and goal oriented
• Encourage young people to give themselves permission to “just be” with no expectations or inhibitions.  
• Build synergies with communities through cross school collaboration (i.e. mainstream school and special schools and partnering with other mental health initiatives and external mental health support agencies) to positively influence the lives of youth,
• Build up school ambassadors to become self-sufficient through equipping them with leadership skills and fundamental engagement skills to encourage peers to participate.
