Join us on Wednesday 6 August
Join the movement to fight youth homelessness
Every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to thrive. But right now, too many are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. A stable home is more than just shelter; it’s the foundation for wellbeing. Without it, young people face greater barriers to learning, staying healthy, building relationships, and reaching their goals.
By wearing your daggiest jumper on 6 August, you’re showing up with heart. You’re raising awareness, sparking conversations, and helping Brisbane Youth Service provide safe housing and tailored support to young people and young families in crisis.

Make a difference for young people like Ollie
"During my time at BYS, my confidence has skyrocketed, and my mental health has also greatly improved. I am so grateful to have a space that I feel comfortable enough in to call home.
I have spent just over a year in Phoenix House so far, and the workers there have been nothing short of amazing. They were there for every query and concern I had along the way and helped me look for answers and solutions for every single one of them, no matter how small they might seem."

About Brisbane Youth Service
Since 1977, Brisbane Youth Service has worked to create #NewFutures for young people and young families at risk or experiencing homelessness.
We provide free, confidential services including crisis and transitional housing, emergency relief, physical and mental health services, alcohol and drug interventions, domestic and family violence support, and specialist programs for young women and young families.
We meet young people at a crucial time of great need – but also a great opportunity for early intervention supports.
As a community, if we want to break the cycle of homelessness we must ensure young people can access crucial services when they need them. Even with brief support from Brisbane Youth Service, most young people can overcome difficulties, move out of crisis, and achieve life goals.
