At The Y NSW, our Youth & Community teams are at the heart of creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people can connect, grow, and thrive.
Through programs like Y Spaces, outreach services, and community-based initiatives, we support young people—especially those facing challenges—to build confidence, develop life skills, and feel a true sense of belonging. Our work is grounded in connection, trust, and early intervention, helping young people navigate life’s complexities with the right support around them.
Every day, our youth workers make a meaningful difference—showing up, listening without judgement, and empowering young people to shape their own futures.
This is your opportunity to step into youth work—even if you’re just starting out.
We’ll support you to build the skills.
What we’re really looking for is who you are and how you show up.
You don’t need years of experience—but you do need:
If you’ve supported people in any way—through study, volunteering, sport, or life experience—we want to hear from you.
If you’re someone who wants to make a real impact and be there for young people when it matters most, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and bring your whole self to work at The Y NSW.
