Red Frogs

Red Frogs is an internationally recognized schoolies support network which has been operating for over 12 years. Since their 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 an ice-breaker at 17 schoolies and leavers festivals around Australia.

Over 1200 Red Frogs Crew 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.
