The Y’s of Australia are guided by a belief in the power of inspired young people and our local vision is for “Children and Young People thriving in a connected community”. A significant way in which we support young people in our region is through careers at the Y. As of March 2021, of the 414 staff employed by the Y Canberra, 172 are under the age of 25. These staff are employed across all areas of the organisation. Discover more about how we support young people in the programs below.
