About Us

The Red Frog craze has hit Canada! In the fall of 2009 the Red Frog chaplaincy network was launched at Brock University, Ontario. The program originated in Australia and got its name from the now worldwide famous piece of candy, a red frog (pictured on right).

The Red Frogs support network is a program with a heartbeat of serving young people and assisting them through some of the most important years of their lives. On various nights you can find the crew running hydrations stations in uni pubs, taking students on café crawls and hosting other great non-alcoholic events. For more information on what we do see the "info for students" page.

The program also exists to educate and empower university students in making responsible decisions. We achieve this by positive role modelling through our volunteers and the symbol is now a world wide connection between young people and a safe and supportive environment.  By providing event support on campus, Red Frogs is seeking to positively transform the university experience for this generation.

History

Red Frogs is an internationally recognized schoolies and universities support network which has been operating for over 12 years.  Since our induction into schoolies on the Gold Coast in 1997, the Red Frog Crew have given out tonnes of Allen’s Frogs Alive Red Frogs every year as our ice-breaker at 17 schoolies and leavers festivals around Australia, as well as at university O-week celebrations and events. 

The Red Frog Crew is most well-known for its service at schoolies and leavers festivals, where over 1200 volunteers aim to support school-leavers through their week-long celebrations, providing a positive presence within their party culture.  The Red Frog Crew assist school-leavers by walking young people home, cooking pancakes, cleaning rooms, handing out Allen’s Red Frogs and most importantly, offering emotional support through what can often be a challenging week.

Red Frogs also provide some of the best entertainment at schoolies week, running Red Frog stages at Gold Coast and Airlie Beach locations.  Schoolies love the Red Frogs!
