Our Programs

YAL Connect

YAL Connect is a bespoke scholarship program assisting young Australians to overcome barriers and reach their educational goals. YAL Connect differs from many other scholarship programs as it provides holistic support and tailored support in parallel with financial support. This recipient-focused support has been the cornerstone of its success. 

YAL Spirit

YAL Spirit is a developing program that aims to partner with other youth organisations to financially assist, as a ‘one off’ payment, young Australians to a specific item/service/experience in their journey. 

YAL Patch

An educational food garden located at YAL Cairns in partnership with Anglicare NQ, STEPS Education & Training. This project provides a broad range of skill development, literacy and numeracy, resilience, and well-being for people housed at YAL’s facility while they are rebuilding their lives through engagement in nature.

YAL Annual Stationery Drive

The YAL Stationery Drive helps students who need a bit of support going to school next year by supplying them with quality stationery to kick start their school year off the right way.
