Youth Off the Streets’ Insightful Boardroom Briefing

Wenty Leagues was recently invited to attend the Youth Off the Streets Boardroom Brief, an event that brought together key community partners and stakeholders of Youth off the Streets to hear firsthand about the significant impact this organisation is having on young people across the region.

The briefing featured a powerful address by Youth Off the Streets CEO, Judy Barraclough, who reflected on her first year in leadership and the tremendous growth the organisation has experienced. Judy shared inspiring stories of how the charity has empowered countless young individuals, helping them overcome adversity and build brighter futures.

The event also included a Q&A session with Michelle Ackerman, Head of Youth Support Services, who provided a deep dive into the pressing challenges facing young people today. Michelle spoke about the complex factors contributing to youth homelessness and the critical role Youth Off the Streets plays in addressing these issues.

Both Judy and Michelle emphasised the ongoing need for funding to sustain and expand the organisation’s services, which are crucial to supporting vulnerable youth and providing them with the tools to succeed.

The event underscored the importance of continued collaboration and community support to ensure that Youth Off the Streets can continue its vital work. Wenty Leagues is proud to be part of this incredible cause and remains committed to supporting initiatives that uplift young people in need.
