About
The Bail Out event has been designed to raise awareness of the complex realities many young people face, including trauma, disadvantage, and pathways that can lead to youth detention.
In Australia, it costs $3,635 per day to keep a young person in detention, compared to $9.78 a day to provide a young person with a Volunteer Mentor.

To support this cause, We're getting locked up, and we need your help to raise my bail! All funds will go towards helping young people find life-changing connections and build a brighter future.
Here's How It Works:
Experience Jail Life
Upon arrival, Inmates will be stripped of their possessions, given a prison uniform, fingerprinted, photographed, and fed prison gruel in the exercise yard.
Fundraising Goals:
Supermax Inmate: Raise $5000 for release
Cellblock Inmate: Raise $1000 for release
Cellblock Inmate: Raise $1000 for release
This unique experience will help bring attention to the urgent need for mentorship programs, highlighting the stark contrast between the high costs of detention and the relatively low costs of preventive mentoring.
Event Details:
Date: 19 June 2026
Location: Pentridge Prison, 1 Champ St, Coburg VIC

My Story
I’m taking part in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bail Out because I believe in what happens when someone shows up for you.
Not in a big, dramatic way… but consistently. Quietly. When it matters most.
Big Brothers Big Sisters gives young people that person. A mentor. A steady voice. Someone who sees them, hears them, and reminds them they’re not alone.
We don’t always know what someone is carrying. But we do know that support can change everything.
This fundraiser helps create those connections. The kind that shift lives before things become too heavy.
If you’re able to donate or share, you’re helping build something incredibly powerful.
And that matters more than you know. 🧡
