About the organisation
Summary of program and its objectives:
The Youth Transitions division functions as an ‘incubator’ for the development of practice and service models that engage and sustain young people experiencing disadvantage in education, training and employment. We work with young people experiencing homelessness, young people who are in out of home care, young people who are newly arrived migrants, and young people who are unemployed.
Our non-competitive approach to service delivery and co-design enables us to work collaboratively across key sectors. We work with young people, community, business and all levels of government across Australia to develop, test, refine and consolidate effective and scalable models. This includes concerted effort to bring attention to the realities faced by young people experiencing disadvantage and to the urgent need for policy and practice reform. Our work is supported by the BSL’s Research and Policy Centre, which works ‘hand in glove’ with the Youth Transitions division on project development, implementation and evaluation.
