What makes us, us
Switch Up DNA
The Switch Up DNA is the very essence of who we are – the guiding force behind every action, every interaction, and every life we touch. It’s woven into our purpose, driven by our belief that change truly begins when someone shows up, consistently and with genuine intent.
Our core foundation: understanding the why
We believe in the limitless potential within every young person. No one should be defined by their worst day or their toughest start. Our DNA is built on the conviction that, with the right support, everyone deserves the chance for a fresh start and to shape their own future.
Our ambition is not just to help, but to drive fundamental, lasting change. Our DNA compels us to be that spark, igniting a journey of growth and transformation.
We work with individuals who’ve been let down, left behind, or pushed to the edge. We see them for who they can become, not where they’ve come from.
Our DNA in action
An essential factor of our DNA is the power of lived experience. Many of our team, especially our mentors, have walked similar paths to the young people we support. This creates a deep bond of understanding and trust, proving that positive change is not only possible but tangible.
Our DNA requires a holistic approach, evidenced through our Five Pillars. We know that real change requires support across multiple fronts – whether it’s through the discipline of physical activity, the clarity of counselling, the opportunities of education and employment, or the unwavering presence of a mentor. These elements work together, seamlessly.
We are committed to every young person’s journey. Our DNA is about showing up, every single day, providing the stability and belief needed to help them overcome challenges and step into their true potential.
