Red Dust Role Models

Red Dust Role Models is a non-profit health promotion charity that seeks to improve the health and wellbeing of disadvantaged youth in remote communities. The organisation utilises positive health messages through the Red Dust Healthy Living Program, Strong Young Womens Program, and Strong Young Mens Program.
