A little bit about Toowoomba Youth Service…

This year, Toowoomba Youth Service celebrates 35 years of making a difference and changing lives in the Toowoomba Region. They support at-risk children and young people to lead meaningful lives and participate as valued members of the community addressing issues such as child protection, youth justice, establishing support networks, emergency relief (eg, food & hygiene products), youth crisis housing, youth mental health, and family relationships. In 2015 Toowoomba Youth Service amalgamated with United Synergies – a Queensland-based not-for-profit association, which is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others who need it most. Services and programs across the entire organisation fall under 5 main areas: Mental Health, Child and Family Relationships; Education,Training and Employment; Homelessness and Support After Suicide.
