On behalf of the Young Life team, welcome! 

Young Life Australia is a Christian volunteer organisation and registered charity which has been making a difference in the lives of young people since 1972.

Our vision is to be a conduit for transformation within the youth of Australia; so with the right support, they can life a full life, now and in the future.

We firmly believe that when hope is restored in a young person’s life, they can go on to develop the ability to make valuable contributions to their families and the wider community. 

Please consider how you can get involved, and how to take advantage of our various youth support initiatives.

What we value:

Faith. All staff and volunteers profess and exhibit a personal relationship in Jesus, and uphold His life and values – witnessing the whole gospel of Jesus Christ- through their words and actions. Read Statement of Faith.

Outreach. Researching and developing innovative approaches to reach young people so that the unreached, uninterested or uncommitted youth of the world shall continue to be reached.

Access & Equity. All young people wherever they may live in the world, or whatever may be their social, economic, ethnic, cultural, or racial environment.

Diversity. Seek out and welcome all those who join our organisation, male and female of all races, salaried and volunteer, with a diversity of Christian traditions linked in our common purpose, and to honour their calling and encourage the fullest expression of their gifts and strengths.

Integrity. The highest standards of ethical stewardship of all resources placed in our trust.

Care and Protection. To provide a safe, responsible and nurturing environment that fosters the health, developmental needs, spirituality, self-respect and dignity of a young person, adhering to the highest standards of behaviour and adhering to all child protection legislation.

Partnership. Active involvement and communication with donors, churches, schools and wider local communities.
