    Youth Services empowers young people to amplify their voices, contribute to their communities and be a positive force for change.

    Our youth services team are working on the frontline, helping young people everyday. The team's main experience is in youth work, training and education, as well as in other areas of the not-for-profit sector.

    Our team works with all types of young people, leveraging relationships with businesses, local and state government and other community organisations. Whether you're a business with employment opportunities for young people, a procurement agency looking to fulfil a government contract, or a local council looking for engagement opportunities within the community, we can help.
