Donate to the Y

We believe in the power of inspired young people

At the Y NSW, we believe every young person deserves to be safe, to be connected and have the opportunity to thrive.

Your donation fuels programs that build confidence, well-being and resilience. Alternative Suspension transforms the trajectory of students’ when they are suspended from school. Through a strengths-based, person-centred approach, this program helps young people re-engage with learning, rebuild belief in themselves, and break the cycle of negative behaviour.

Your support empowers young people through Youth Parliament,  a life changing program where young people step into their power, find their voice and learn that they can shape the world around them. For many, it’s the first time they feel heard, valued, and capable of creating real change. It awakens leaders who might otherwise never discover their potential.

Be the Reason Young People Feel Inspired, Connected and Safe. Streetgym brings the gym to the streets, their streets creating a vibrant, welcoming space where young people can move, connect and simply be themselves. What begins as a game, a workout or a free feed often becomes something far more powerful: a sense of belonging. StreetGym is completely free for young people aged 12–18, and gives them a safe place in their own neighbourhood to stay active, have fun with friends and build confidence in a supportive community environment. It’s more than a program, it’s a lifeline, especially for young people who may have limited access to positive activities or safe spaces.

When young people are inspired and empowered, they are unstoppable. Together, we can help them soar.
