Bolting Ahead is a community-based organisation working in service to our communities, to create working relationship-based alignment by helping our young people to overcome barriers through social inclusion and employment. At Bolting Ahead, we work with respect to diversity of ability, culture, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. We inclusively design our programs to cater for difference, to meet our young people where they are at, and to draw them together towards achieving great things.

We recognise disadvantage as a complex context to society and aim to tackle it through empowering our young people by designing programs and microenterprises with them, following the 'nothing about us, without us’ model. Bolting Ahead is informed and guided by the voice of the young people we work with to serve and support them to be included both in the workplace and their community.

We will mentor our young people to understand and practise good social values and morals and we will lead by example by championing being good humans. We value the contributions of our volunteers, employees and partners and enjoy working with our partners to create working relationships based on alignment between our values and organisational goals. Our partners are community, corporate and government- based organisations who share our vision for true inclusion in both employment and social settings.
