Creating opportunities for
Australia’s youth to be their best.
Bring this life-changing program to your school to support positive change in young people & your community.
Join schools across Australia as a Youth Opportunities partner, and together we can equip your students with the life-long skills, habits, and confidence to thrive.
Donate to give young people a brighter, stronger future.
Support us to continue to create life-changing opportunities for Australia’s young people to become personal leaders and take positive control of their lives.
With 3 in 10 young Australians facing barriers to achieving their goals - such as low motivation, poor mental health, and lack of confidence - our mission has never been more critical.
In 2024, Youth Opportunities expanded its impact nationwide, engaging 3,760 young people through our Personal Leadership Programs and wraparound services. We partnered with 51 schools across South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales, responding to the growing need for mental health and wellbeing support among young people. Through early intervention and holistic support, we’re helping young people build the skills and strategies they need to thrive.
We’re deeply grateful to our community of supporters — schools, educators, partners, and donors — who make this impact possible. Together, we’re building a future where every young person can lead their life with purpose, resilience, and hope.
