Organisation Summary

Youth Off The Streets is a leading not-for-profit organisation supporting young people facing disadvantage, homelessness, and barriers to education and employment. Founded in 1991, we work with young people aged 12–25 to help them build a future free from poverty, abuse, and neglect.

Our services span crisis accommodation, education and training, alcohol and other drug support, mental health and counselling, and cultural and life skills development. We believe every young person has the strength and potential to thrive when given the right support and opportunities.

At the heart of our work is a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that empowers young people to take control of their lives. We walk alongside them on their journey, providing safe spaces, trusted relationships, and tailored support to help them achieve their goals.

With the support of our community, donors, and partners, Youth Off The Streets is creating lasting change, one young person at a time. We are committed to building a more inclusive and equitable society where all young people can feel valued, connected, and hopeful about their future.
