25.01.2022 YMCA Australia strongly backs the report released by National Youth Commission Australia calling for a Youth Futures Guarantee. Young people of today will be ...the 30 and 40 somethings of tomorrow so unless we collectively make the investment in young people now, our future tax base, our future workforce and our future leadership will be eroded. Our economic recovery depends on it. -Melinda Crole, CEO YMCA Australia https://probonoaustralia.com.au//creating-a-new-deal-for-/

25.01.2022 Scott Morrison (ScoMo) - you have an opportunity to support young people now to secure jobs and their futures. Why wouldn't you?

24.01.2022 "I am rehearsing responses I prepared for this entry-level job that requires previous experience. I find it amusing that for an entry level job I need pre-entry job experience and for that pre-entry job I need a pre-pre-entry job and according to my calculations, it means I should have started working at age 5 so I could secure enough experience to get the entry level job at 22." Read and share this funny, creative, and poignant story about finding work as a young person from... Hardeep in NSW. https://nycinquiry.org.au/the-interview/ This piece was the winner of the Youth Futures Creative Competition and we'll be sharing all the finalists over the next month!

19.01.2022 Did you know that there are homelessness conferences that don’t have a single person with lived experience represented in the room? This is unacceptable. We believe best practice means not only making space for those with lived experience, but letting them shape and lead those spaces. That’s why at #NYHC2021 we’re committed to ensuring young people with experience of homelessness and housing insecurity are represented at all levels of the event, from presenters to participa...nts and behind the scenes. If you or someone you know wants to attend #NYHC2021 and needs support, apply for a scholarship today: https://nyc6.typeform.com/to/WJtcPyc8

11.01.2022 "I am looking for work, I’ve been looking every day for six months. It has been insanely difficult for me to find employment." Avery from NSW. The Government claim that cutting Job Seeker will mean people will start looking for work. THEY ALREADY ARE! Thousands of people, and young people, are looking for work everyday and facing competition where one job might receive anywhere from 2000 to 6000 applications. ... We need continued support for young people to survive this pandemic. Cutting Job Seeker will only push more people into poverty. Join us in calling on Government to make some real guarantees for young people's financial safety.
