Charitable Trust
Wayfarer
Whether you're navigating life after service or stepping into your first leadership role, the Tango Kilo Mike Wayfarer program is here to support your growth. Our expertly crafted digital courses provide the tools, insights, and resilience to help you lead confidently, adapt seamlessly to change, and stay grounded in purpose.
Built with the experiences of veterans, first responders, and emerging leaders in mind, Wayfarer empowers you to harness your strengths, navigate uncertainty, and forge a path forward with clarity and conviction.
Wayfarer is more than a program - it's a mindset. The term wayfarer refers to someone on a meaningful journey, often moving purposefully from one place to another in search of growth, direction, and transformation. We chose this name to reflect the spirit behind the program guiding those who've served and those who are just beginning their leadership path through self-discovery and empowerment, one step at a time.
Wayfarer is designed for defence force and emergency services professionals as well as emerging and young leaders eager to build resilience, purpose, and clarity in their personal and professional lives. Whether you're transitioning out of uniform or stepping into your first leadership role, Wayfarer meets you where you are and helps you move forward with intention.
