Our Purpose

Breaking Barriers,

Levelling the Field.

We provide holistic support to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, ensuring potential is never limited by circumstance.

01

Equal Access

We are dismantling systemic barriers to ensure every student, regardless of their background, can access the highest quality education and resources.

02

Empowerment

Moving beyond passive learning to spark genuine curiosity and self-belief in every young person we reach.

03

Community

Creating a vibrant ecosystem where students and mentors grow together through shared experiences.

Happy Brain Education provides comprehensive VCE support across Victoria through our scholarship programs, one-on-one student mentoring, and school workshops. Our youth-led approach ensures educational equity for students from refugee backgrounds and disadvantaged communities throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Youth Empowerment
Our Identity

For youth, by youth

We are a youth-led, grassroots organisation shaped by lived experience. Our executive team comes from refugee backgrounds, and more than 70% of our team is proudly from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities.

We know firsthand the barriers young people face in education, and that's why we design every program with their realities in mind. By working closely with our students and partner educators, we ensure our support is relevant, empowering, and truly student-centred.
