Weave Youth & Commmunity Services

Weave Youth & Community Services is a place-based, community-led organisation located on unceded Gadigal and Bidjigal Lands in Sydney, with a deep and long-standing commitment to the communities we walk alongside.

Our purpose is to empower people to change their lives and healing and connection is at the centre of our work. We provide consistent, trusted support and genuine care to our clients and communities.

Our diverse and holistic range of programs and services support children, young people, women and families, many of whom have been impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. As a result, the challenges they face range from poverty, homelessness and mental health issues to racism, discrimination, domestic violence, and over representation in the criminal justice and out of home care systems.

Over 70% of all those we support across Weave are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, and around 25% of our staff and almost 45% of our current Board members are Aboriginal. As a non-Aboriginal controlled organisation, we walk alongside and stand firmly with Aboriginal people in their fight for justice and self-determination.

Our approach is shaped by our Aboriginal Healing Framework, developed by our Community & Culture Lead together with our Aboriginal staff. This framework guides our work at every level of our organisation. It’s not just a strategy; it’s our commitment to striving to create transformative change in an inclusive, respectful, and culturally responsive manner.
