BYS is breaking cycles of violence and homelessness. Our K.I.N.D program supports young people to heal, build emotional skills and create brighter futures. Join us this #16DaysOfActivism to support respect and equality for all young people. #NewFutures #EndGenderBasedViolence
Thank you to all who joined us at our 2024 AGM! From Uncle Billy Cummings’ moving Welcome to Country to reflections on 47 years of supporting young people, it was a day of celebration and inspiration. Check out our Annual Report for more: brisyouth.org/publications
This #GivingTuesday, see how your donation can help young people facing homelessness in Brisbane. Every gift, no matter the size, can help provide safety, connection, hope, and a chance to thrive in the community. Visit bit.ly/givebrisyouth to give today. 📷
In 2023-2024, 1 in 4 of those we supported were young people with disability. On #IDPwD, we celebrate their resilience and call for inclusive, accessible supports to break barriers and unlock potential – building a future where every young person can thrive. 📷 #NewFutures
Thanks to @stephenbatesmp and funding from @BrisNorthPHN, we've expanded our Medical Clinic with our new Specialised Mental Health Service. This wraparound support gives young people facing homelessness the mental and physical healthcare they deserve to create #NewFutures 🙌
Young people we meet are 10x more likely to report past family violence. Through our Young Dads & Young Families program we break the cycle by providing stable housing, strengthening parenting skills and prioritising wellbeing — creating #NewFutures for young families 💜 #16Days
We’re thrilled to present our 2024 Annual Report! 🙌 Visit brisyouth.org/publications to discover the progress we made last financial year and the path ahead as we continue to grow our impact and create new futures for young people.
Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the start of #16DaysOfActivism. DFV is a leading cause of youth homelessness. We’re working to break the cycle through safety, early intervention and recovery. Together, let’s build safer futures.
This Diwali, Jamna and her youth group spread light with gift bags for young mums we support, filled with essentials and uplifting messages like “You are loved”. 💛 It's a great reminder of how simple acts of kindness can bring hope. Thank you for inspiring us! ✨#NewFutures
Meet Kate*, who dreams of becoming a nurse one day. After trauma at home left her homeless, Kate found safety and hope with BYS. This Christmas, your gift can help young people like Kate build new futures. Donate now at give.brisyouth.org 🤝 #YouthHomelessness #NewFutures
5% of young people we meet are gender diverse, facing homelessness and barriers to services at disproportionate rates. 🏳️⚧️🏠 At BYS, we stand for safe, inclusive spaces where every young person feels valued & supported to build a brighter future.💜#TransAwarenessWeek
For 10+ years, MinterEllison staff have supported BYS with pro bono legal advice and hands-on volunteering. Discover how their efforts helped secure our new Youth Support Centre—and see how your organisation could partner with BYS to make a lasting impact: brisyouth.org/building-new-f…
We joined PIF at #BackseatSleepOut to raise support for young people like Essie, a mum staying in a motel to keep her kids safe. Her story reminds us: temporary shelter isn’t enough. We’re advocating for permanent housing so young families can rebuild. #EndYouthHomelessness
How it started How it's going
📢 Important Update: The BYS Valley ‘Hub’ will close at 3 pm today, Fri 25 Oct. Phone support available from Mon 28 to Wed 30 Oct. We’ll be closed on Thu 31 Oct & Fri 1 Nov. Face-to-face resumes Mon 4 Nov at 518 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley. Info: brisyouth.org
🖤💛❤️ Our visit to The Ration Shed Museum on Wakka Wakka Country was a powerful reminder of the resilience and strength of the Cherbourg community and the importance of truth-telling on the journey to reconciliation.
Young people are being hit hard by the housing crisis, with limited access to affordable, safe housing. We must cap rent increases, end no-grounds evictions & improve energy efficiency to protect renters. Let’s ensure a fairer future. Learn more: townofnowhere.com
From Oct 19-27, we celebrate Children’s Week, honouring children’s rights & achievements. 🌟 At BYS, we support youth aged 12-25, and 1 in 3 are parents. We're committed to empowering young families & building a safe, bright future for all. 💛 #ChildrensWeek #NewFutures
The Hub at 42 McLachlan St will close at 3 pm on Fri, 25 Oct. Support Services: 28-30 Oct: Phone support 31 Oct & 1 Nov: Closed Services resume Mon, 4 Nov at our new Youth Support Centre, 518 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley. More info: brisyouth.org
Thanks to OzHarvest, Umbrella Foundation Brisbane, Kiwanis Brisbane and others, the BYS pantry is a lifeline for young people facing hardship. With 19% arriving at BYS with no source of income, food access is critical. Together, we're ensuring no one goes without. #NewFutures
