- Strengthening connection, sense of belonging and wellbeing wherever there’s a Y
- Increasing levels of physical activity and skills
Our Community Programs
There’s a pathway for every young person at the Y.
Youth Parliament
For over 25 years, this flagship program has empowered more than 2,000 young leaders across 73 NSW electorates to find their voice through parliamentary debate and policy creation.
Alternative Suspension Program
Transforming School Suspension into a Second Chance. When a young person is suspended from school, unsupervised time off can lead to deeper academic disengagement and risk.
Street Gym
A free active outdoor program operating in Cranebrook, Broken Hill, and the Central Coast. Gives youth aged 12–18 a safe space to get active, grab a meal, and connect with local support services.
