About Youth Off The Streets

Youth Off The Streets (YOTS) is a non-denominational organisation assisting youth (aged 12-25) facing challenges such as homelessness, drug and alcohol dependency, exclusion from school, mental health issues, poverty and isolation.

We support these vulnerable youth as they work to turn their lives around, overcoming immense personal traumas such as neglect and physical, psychological and emotional abuse.

Every year, we help over 3,000 young people across Australia, with services in NSW, Queensland and Melbourne including:

Homeless Services – crisis refuges, Street Walk outreach, food van.
Education – six accredited high schools offering alternative education and employment pathways.
Alcohol & Drug Treatment and Mental Health – rehabilitation, family counselling, community reintegration.
Outreach – 1:1 case management, educational initiatives in at-risk schools, safe diversionary activities.
Aboriginal Services – outreach in regional NSW, cultural reconnection programs, specialised education.
Integration – reconnecting disengaged youth with community through mentoring, service learning, young parents’ programs.
Registered Training Organisation – nationally accredited vocational education and training (VET).

Our mission is helping disconnected young people to discover greatness within, by engaging, supporting & providing opportunities to encourage & facilitate positive life choices.

From Father Chris Riley

At Youth Off The Streets we empower young people to participate in and transform their future through the development of their skills, confidence and relationships with each other, their families and their communities.

Our young people come to us disengaged, abused, neglected or abandoned looking for someone to believe in them. We believe in them, and we offer them programs that focus on positive options and strength based strategies that don’t allocate blame or see them as the problem. Our programs challenge kids to make decisions for themselves, take responsibility for their own lives, and understand they can do well.

We have witnessed many of our young people achieve over the years, and we ask you to join us in supporting and celebrating them all.

Thank you for believing in us, thank you for believing in our kids.

Yours faithfully,

Father Chris Riley AM
