The Youth Street program is led by a team of dedicated youth who give of their time and talents to reach the youth of Townsville. In our society today activities for young people are very rare and so it is great to see this program offering wholesome and active opportunities for the youth.
Seeing Youth Street in operation is truly phenomenal. It was without doubt the most packed out place I’d seen in all my travels, with dozens and dozens of young people using the skate ramps that surrounded the building before coming inside for bands, short films and hanging out.
Youth Street is without a doubt one of the best organizations we know of. This afternoon and evening is the highlight of Brendan’s week. He looks forward to participating and meeting with both peers and leaders.
These guys make the hugest difference! Their energy, support and compassion are such a top thing. They are relevant, positive and cost effective. When they ask for resources and support – be sure it’s making a difference.
Since coming to Youth Street, my son is happier, more content and confident and has a new meaning and purpose in his life. He has excellent role models and new friends, and I know that he is safe in an environment which reflects my own values.
