About Us
Youth Futures
Walking alongside young people in Western Australia for over 40 years.
ABOUT YOUTH FUTURES
In 1985, a small group of locals in Joondalup saw young people doing it tough and chose to act. They found a house, opened the doors and Youth Futures was born.
Forty years later that commitment has not changed. Every year Youth Futures walks alongside hundreds of young people across WA through accommodation, education, emergency relief, community connection and more.
ABOUT THE NEST
The Nest is one of Youth Futures' most impactful programs. It walks alongside young parents and their babies navigating homelessness, housing instability or unsafe living situations. Through flexible, practical support and consistent case management, The Nest helps young families build safety, stability and the confidence to take the next steps forward.
"It is a roof. It is stability. It is the breathing room to focus on their family and take those next steps forward."
Rachael Nudds, Head of Homelessness Services, Youth Futures
THE IMPACT
Last year 163 young families who needed The Nest could not be supported. The need was there. The families were there. The capacity was not. Every dollar you raise changes that.
