In 2017, Youth Futures WA was awarded $27,500 for its program, The NEST, designed to help teenage mothers who are homeless or living in unsuitable conditions and are consequently at risk of losing custody of their child. The funds were used to support the expansion of the Outreach Service that is a preventative strategy against homelessness that aims to stabilise the lives of the teenage mothers while developing their parenting, financial and independent living skills. An Outreach Support Worker assists clients to seek appropriate accommodation and advocates on their behalf with the Department of Child Protection, all the while supporting the young mum with their baby’s development and personal issues.

Ready to Make a Difference?

Our definition of women includes transgender and cisgender, all those who experience or have experienced oppression as women, including non-binary and gender non-conforming people and all those who identify as women.

We would also like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island People. We would like to acknowledge their continued connection to this Country and recognise that their culture is alive, and their connections continue as they have before we were here, and will continue as one of the oldest cultures in the world.

We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present and their special place in the community together with the emerging youth coming through.
