We’re a collective of passionate people brought together by a shared dream of creating inclusive spaces and opportunities for young people to be their best selves. Our purpose is to build a world where kindness and respect thrive over bullying, hate and prejudice and every young person is free to realise their potential.

For over 18 years, PROJECT ROCKIT has been empowering Australian school students with empathy and skills to take real action against bullying, hate, and prejudice. Our impact speaks volumes - we've reached over 600,000 young minds in communities nationwide.
