(About)
A youth support organisation in its most considered form.
Founded in Darwin in 2022 as Pathfinders NT, Rite 2 Rise is the first certified social enterprise in the Northern Territory. We deliver place-based therapeutic mentoring and wellbeing services for Territorians, by Territorians.
Our approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed — meeting young people on country in the dry season and online through the Digital Youth Hub when the wet season closes the roads.

What people say about us
Parent feedback
“I have had Jessy working and supporting my son for a long period and have seen a huge turnaround in my son over that time. I like that Jessy works very closely with the whole family and is a valuable asset to this industry. Having been caught up in this area with the government agency circus, I find that they don't hold the same belief with outcomes as much as Jessy does. Jessy, you're a credit to the industry working with our disadvantaged youth. Well done, mate.”
