Youth Engagement
Our youth engagement program aims to provide social and recreational opportunities for young people.
Interested?
Through the provision of cross-sector collaboration, advocacy, information and skills development, the Youth Engagement Officer aims to provide social and recreational opportunities for young people who are experiencing homelessness or who at risk of homelessness, or marginalised in our community.
The Youth Engagement Officer works with both young people and a broad range of service providers on various initiatives, to ensure young people’s needs are included in the social, cultural and economic life of their community. These include but are not limited to projects, events and workshops with and for young people, sector development and student placements.
If you or your club/organisation would like to speak further about an idea you have that would benefit our young people here on the Gold Coast, please don’t hesitate to call the Belinda on (07) 5572 0400.

Our Vision, Mission & Values
Our Vision
A Gold Coast city where young people are hopeful about their future valued and supported to realise their full potential.
Our Mission
To be a leading non-profit organisation that supports homeless and disadvantaged young people on the Gold Coast, making long lasting and positive changes through:
- Information and support
- housing and tenancy support
- emergency assistance
Our Values
Social justice is about young people receiving a ‘fair go’ at the opportunities in life. It is about recognising that we are all different and respecting the inclusion and tolerance of all.
The aim of the Gold Coast Youth Service is that young people’s rights are recognised, and that they are consulted in appropriate and meaningful ways and have the opportunity to participate in decision-making that affects their lives.
