The Red
Frog craze has hit the UK! In the summer of 2009 the Red Frog chaplaincy network
was launched at Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The program originated in Australia
and got its name from the now worldwide famous piece of candy, a red frog.
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!
