Youth Off The Streets
Youth Off The Streets is a registered charity working with chronically homeless and drug addicted young people. We support these youth as they work to turn their lives around and overcome immense traumas such as neglect and physical, psychological and emotional abuse.
Since we opened in 1991, Youth Off The Streets has grown to provide a wide range of services offering a full continuum of care.
We provide crisis care for young people still living on the streets with our food van, youth refuge and outreach program as well as running Sydney�s only non-medicated detox centre specifically designed for adolescents. Key College, our accredited high school in Surry Hills, provides educational opportunities and support for young people living on the streets. Many of these youth go on to successfully achieve their School Certificate and, in increasing numbers, their Higher School Certificate.
Our farms, located in both the Southern Highlands and the Hunter Valley, provide long term residential rehabilitation opportunities for young people who have made a commitment to living a drug and crime free lifestyle. While they are in our care these young people attend school as well as receiving counselling, life skills and vocational training.
Once they feel ready to leave the farm we offer a semi-independent living and mentoring program, we assist them to engage in further study or to find employment, and we support both the employer and our youth through their first year of working together.
A decade of experience has taught us that education is the most effective way to break the cycles of abuse that can trap young people. Our new National Schools Program now delivers innovative drug prevention and early intervention programs to schools Australia-wide.
We are very honoured to have as our patrons, the former Governor General of Australia, Sir William Deane and Lady Helen Deane.
Youth Off The Streets is a registered charity and as such, operates as a non-profit organisation. Our ABN number is 29 100 388 412.
