Every day across WA, chaplains are present in the moments that shape a young person's future. To every person that donated, interacted, participated or cheered us on from the sidelines - thank you for your RIDICULOUSLY GOOD support and partnering with us to see this continue to be a possibility!

Your support helps students navigate hard things, serves nearly 700,000 meals through Breakfast Club, delivers 30,760 wellbeing sessions, and walks alongside more than 10,000 athletes and their families on the sidelines. Behind every one of those moments is a young person who needed someone to show up. And because of people like you, someone did.

Today Merriwa Education Support Centre hosted a very special family afternoon, where siblings, parents and carers were invited along to school to tour classrooms, partake in activities and sensory play! Facilitated by our YouthCARE Chaplain Samantha, she said “one of the recurring things I hear families say is that the siblings of our ESC students get upset they don’t get to go to school together with their sibling. So we thought we would do an open afternoon and get a bunch of families to come along and have a school experience together.”

Leadership at the school expressed their hope to celebrate the families of their students throughout the afternoon.

It's National Volunteer Week!

On behalf of everyone at YouthCARE, we want to say a big thank you to all the incredible volunteers serving communities across Western Australia. Each year, over 1.5 million Western Australians freely give their time to meet community needs across the state, each with unique stories, skills, and capacities. We are so grateful that YouthCARE volunteers are part of that 1.5 million.

We had the opportunity to celebrate with our volunteers by hosting morning and afternoon teas, dinners and gatherings to honour, share stories and reflect on the impact each individual has.
