The Youth Development Foundation Information

We provide a short and/or long term helping hand to help our young people turn their lives around. The Youth Development Foundation is a space where our young adults will feel safe and will find the right support to help focus on improving their life skills and knowledge. We provide a structured community inclusive program incorporating social skills, customised training, mentoring/coaching, youth support and vocational education to support identified “at risk” young people, regain a sense of their own self-worth, respect and improve lives. We offer a realistic work experience environment, where real skills and knowledge, on a live operating site, are learnt. We provide opportunities for marketing our young people to real employers, with real employment opportunities. At Youth Development Foundation we assist with: • Nationally accredited training • Crisis accommodation • Drug and alcohol support • Advocacy support • Life and social skills • Employability skills • Work placement • Mentoring and coaching • Drop in centre
