About the Y

Our mission is to empower children, young people and communities Australia-wide to build a just, sustainable, equitable and inclusive world where every person can thrive in body, mind and spirit.

At the Y Canberra Region, we believe in building a better world, with and for young people. We strive to empower, connect and support our young people in our care, our staff and our communities.

Creating Safe Communities

Safeguarding is, at its core, a human right.

It gives children and young people a voice and enables them to speak up with confidence.

The Y Canberra Region has a commitment to safeguarding children and vulnerable people first and foremost in all of our programs and activities. We have strong support, training and procedures which help us to continually embed a safe culture.
