OUR STORY:

At The Youth Junction Inc we create and enable paths and choices for productive, resilient and engage young people through strong collaborative and innovative solutions. This is underpinned by our Child Safe Policy.

The Youth Junction Inc became an incorporated society in 1999 and by 2005 was an umbrella organisation for a range of coordinated and integrated services to meet the needs of young people aged 12 to 24 years based out of the Visy Cares Hub in Sunshine, focusing on early intervention.

In the years since the Youth Junction has carved out a space linked to the lead tenancy of the Visy Cares hub, and a recognised expertise in crime prevention support services for those aged 15-25 in Western Melbourne. In our current environment our organisation must continue to need the changing needs of vulnerable young people through innovative and collaborative solutions. Our ambition is framed by two overriding objectives, ‘young people are the leaders of tomorrow’ and ‘change and growth are important’.
