The happy staff of Qld Youth Services in TownsvilleQueensland Youth Services Inc. (QYS) is a non-government, not-for-profit, community based organisation which since its establishment in 1978 has been providing a diverse range of services to young people aged between 12 and 25 years in the Townsville Region.

 

The organisation is governed by a Committee of Management which is elected annually by its community membership.

 

The vision statement of Queensland Youth Services is:

  • to work with and for young people to access existing options and opportunities and to
    promote their well being
  • to act as a catalyst to recognise and challenge structural inequalities with the aim of social
    change and the empowerment of young people
  • to develop with young people a sense of self respect, dignity, belonging and purpose
    and value in themselves and the community

As the only agency in the Townsville / Thuringowa area which has an exclusively youth specific generic focus, QYS is widely recognised throughout the community sector. The organisation derives its current funding from a variety of sources on both a State and Federal government level to operate and manage our various programs.
