About BYS

We support homeless and vulnerable young people (aged 12-25 years) and their children, to secure and maintain housing. We provide emergency support and a range of services to assist young people to address physical and mental health issues, establish successful relationships and support networks and access pathways to education and employment.

Our Impact

AJ bounced from place to place sleeping rough, trying to find a home.

Since entering BYS accommodation, life has completely turned around.
Tahi’s journey has taken her from sleeping rough to resilient, independent mother. She now has a vision to work as a social worker to pass on the help she received to the next generation of young people.

BYS has provided me with the ongoing support I needed as my circumstances continued to change over time.

With the support of @petstock_australia @suited_to

With the support of @petstock_australia @suited_to_success and The Old Museum, the Positive Transitions Project, which is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council, provided a day of styling and practice interviews for young people.

Young people were treated to a professional styling session to get interview ready outfits, which they later got to keep. Young people also received simulated interview training to develop key skills, confidence, and communication techniques to be used in interview environments to prepare them for future job opportunities.

Each young person that attended the event said they felt more confident in themselves, their abilities and it encouraged them to step out of their comfort zone and try something new.
