Become a Volunteer
Young Life Australia is a Christian volunteer organisation with a vision to build confidence, values and resilience in Australian young people through significant relationships with adults who model the love of Jesus Christ.
We come alongside young people to walk their journey with them:
- Connecting in their world: Offering support and role-modelling
- Making a difference: Instilling confidence and values
- Building resilience: Helping young people navigate the challenges they face
Our volunteers are men and women from within the community who demonstrate integrity, share Young Life’s vision, and have the ability to connect with young people. Many have been impacted by Young Life as teenagers, and are now committed to building up the next generation.
All of our volunteers are carefully screened for the safety of our young people, and undergo a Working With Children Check and Police Check. We also offer internal training to our leaders, so they can make a significant, caring and intentional impact on young lives.
If you are excited at the prospect of making a difference in your community, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
Enter your contact details and we will be in touch to learn more about how you would like to be involved in local programs to support and encourage young people!
