OUR INITIATIVES

One Formation Journey. Many Entry Points.

Not every young person enters through the same door. Every path leads to the same destination: identity, character, and courageous leadership.

ACTIVE

Mentorship Circles

Structured, recurring groups in high schools and communities where young people are formed by consistent, caring adults who show up week after week.

ACTIVE

Worship Circles

Faith-centred creative gatherings using music, arts, and expression as vehicles for healing, identity, and belonging.

ACTIVE

Living Room Sessions

Monthly evenings of worship held in a private home. Intimate, warm, and deeply relational. 20-40 people. Real community.

Formation and worship taken directly onto campuses where students navigate identity without the support structures they had in school.

ACTIVE

CASCADING MENTORSHIP MODEL

Pass It Down.

No one is too young to lead. No one is too experienced to still need guidance. Everyone in the chain is simultaneously being poured into and pouring out.

TIER 1

University Mentors

University students and young adults

Close enough in age to be relatable. Far enough ahead to be relevant. University students step back into high schools as peer mentors bringing lived experience and a presence no adult can replicate.

TIER 2

Senior Learners

Grade 10, 11, 12 mentoring Grade 8, 9

Within the school, senior learners are trained and deployed as peer mentors. Same corridors. Same culture. Intentional leadership activated, structured, and consistent.

TIER 3

The Pipeline

Junior learners becoming future mentors

Every young person being mentored today is a future mentor. As they grow, they move up the chain. The movement multiplies through people, not budget.

WHY IT WORKS: Peer influence is one of the most powerful forces in a young person's life. Pass It Down does not fight that force. It redirects it.
ANNUAL FLAGSHIP GATHERING

The Formation Camp.

Once a year. Every generation. Something permanent.

The Formation Camp is One6Teen's annual gathering. For three days, youth, fathers, and mentors step out of their ordinary environments and into something intentional.

It is not a programme. It is an encounter where walls come down, where fathers speak honestly to their children, and where young people discover something about themselves they could not find anywhere else.

"Three days where fathers show up, mentors invest, and young people discover who they were always meant to be."

Generations Together

Youth, dads, and mentors in the same space, around the same fire, in the same movement. The generation gap closes here.

Presence Over Programme

Every activity exists to create genuine human presence. Adults who are fully there. Young people who feel fully seen.

Identity Formed

Three days of intentional formation. Being asked the questions that matter, being challenged, being celebrated.

Sent Out With Purpose

The camp ends with a commissioning. Every person leaves with purpose and an accountability partner to carry it with them.

116
PERFORMANCE ARTS PLATFORM

The 116 Collective.

One6Teen's developing community of performance artists, singers, musicians, and creatives being intentionally mentored, trained, and prepared for real platforms.
