Wed 24 Oct 2018

Youth Off The Streets is an organisation founded in 1991 by Father Chris Riley AM with a goal to see that no young person obtains the denial of a right to an education, safe accommodation, counselling, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and other supportive services, which are aimed at breaking the cycle of abuse, neglect and disadvantage. The organisation hopes to empower young people to transform their futures, develop new skills on the road to self-discovery through education, confidence and relationships with each other.



Father Chris believes there is no such thing as a "child born bad". There are bad environments, circumstances and family lives that impact negatively on our young. He has worked with disadvantaged youth for more than 40 years in roles such as a teacher, youth worker, probation office, residential carer, principal and CEO.

More than 200 staff are employed at Youth Off The Streets in over 35 programs as well as approximately 400 volunteers. Father Chris has implemented strategies to help youth deal with a history of abuse, neglect and trauma while also aiding disconnected young people to discover the greatness within by providing them with opportunities to facilitate positive life choices.



On Wednesday 24th October from 10.00 am till noon, you are invited to come along to the Young Off The Streets Morning Tea to be held at 307 Lane Cove Road, Macquarie Park , NSW. The cost is $10.00 per person, which is payable on the day. All proceeds will go directly to the Youth Off The Streets Program. Free parking is available on site.

While enjoying your morning tea, Father Chris will give a talk on his work with youth, as well you will have the opportunity to meet with some of the people from the organisation. Please RSVP by calling 02 9491 9976 or email [email protected]
