At Younity, we work alongside children, young people, individuals and families to provide the connections, support, access, skills, knowledge and opportunities they need to have a fair go at life.
Through our programs, services and support we address the drivers of exclusion and disadvantage in our community—so that individuals can make the very best choices for themselves and their families.
And we promote education, employment, innovation, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion so that our communities thrive.
Our programs, services and support are designed collaboratively with our communities. And we work to make meaningful connections and add value to our communities.
We recognise that all people and communities have the capacity to be healthy, happy and to thrive. We’re here to provide opportunities for people to find practical solutions and access education and support that will help them navigate their challenges and empower them to have agency in all aspects of life.
We understand that wellbeing barriers are systemic, multiple, complex, and often change as we move through life. Sustainable community growth requires a shared understanding of these barriers and collective responses that suit individuals and families—no matter what stage of the journey they’re at.
We work together with service partners to share knowledge, skills, resources and best practices. And deliver the kind of high-quality services, support and programs that work to create positive outcomes for our communities.
We source and deliver quality, relevant, evidence-based services, programs and support that we know will have a positive impact on our communities. And we make the most of digital technology to ensure lifelong learning, personal development and community engagement are accessible and available to all people—whenever and wherever they need it.
We collect and use data from our community to evolve our practices and contribute to research. So that we can better understand and meet our communities’ needs. Through consultation with experts, collaboration with partners, and feedback from our communities we continue to improve how we deliver support.
We deliver programs, services and support in our communities both onsite and online. And we draw on a variety of approaches including—
