Brisbane Youth Service (BYS) is a Brisbane based community organisation that works with homeless or at-risk young people aged 12-25 years.

Now in their 31st year of operation in 2009, Brisbane Youth Service has provided long-term assistance to help young people understand their situation and make more positive choices. They provide comprehensive services across several levels of immediacy and intensity from basic needs such as food and showers through to intensive personal support.

The organisation consists of volunteers, specialised youth workers, doctors, nurses and mental health workers amongst others in order to assist homeless and at-risk youth in any way, shape or form.

BRISBANE YOUTH SERVICE CLIENTS MAKE MOVIES

As part of National Youth Week in 2009, some of our valued youth made a short movie on what it’s like being homeless, what they have learnt from being on the streets and give some wise words of advice to others who may be, or follow in their footsteps.
