Youth Insearch is a not-for-profit organisation whose goal is “to empower young people to take control of their lives, by giving them the opportunity and skills to develop their self-esteem and play a positive role in society.”

Youth Insearch runs regular weekend camps in Sydney that aim to achieve their goals of:

• Reducing crime, drug and alcohol abuse and suicide in young people.

• Enhancing young people’s self-esteem and empowering them to take control of their lives.

• Breaking the cycle of family breakdown by giving young people some of the skills essential in being a successful parent.

If you have experience with any of these issues or if you simply want to do your part by inspiring young people, sign up to be a support person for the Youth Insearch program!

Currently, there are young people who are unable to attend camps because there is a shortage of help. Be the remedy – VOLUNTEER!
