100% of all funds raised will go towards our MOB HQ purpose built facility at 5-7 Nerang Street, Southport. MOB HQ is more than a school. It’s a $20 million investment in a brighter future. This innovative 5,000sqm facility boasts classrooms, cafes, barbershops, and co-working spaces – a vibrant community hub designed for the unique learning styles of disengaged boys. This isn’t just about education; it’s about fostering belonging, safety, and hope. We’re committed to intervening at a critical juncture – the transition to high school – and providing support to break the cycle of disengagement. MOB HQ is a legacy project, a testament that will empower young men for generations to come. It’s a chance to redefine education and transform lives.
