As a community we have collective responsibility for children's well-being, rights, and humanity.
The children we work with are often victims of abuse or neglect and deserve an opportunity to turn a page in their life.
Will you join us in supporting them to get their lives back on track?

How your donation helps
Your donation will empower our youth workers to support young people through specialised services and financial support to achieve their goals.
Sometimes you need someone in your corner to support you through difficult circumstances.
Our support is life changing.
Holistic support services
We offer a multi-disciplined support service to young people that can help them address the issues in their lives and reach their goals.
Practical support
Aside from our support services, we may also provide young people with essential items to help them achieve their goals, for example your donation may fund:
$25 - Birthday cake for a homeless child
$50 – Hygiene products
$100 – Identification e.g. learners licence, passport
$250 – Sporting club fees or a school uniform
$1000 – 30 hours of personal support
Changing the story for Queensland children
YAC is working to break this cycle by helping young people turn their lives around, as well as advocating for systems reform.
Join us is creating a brighter future for young people in Queensland and help end the cycle of trauma.
We support the children that the system leaves behind
With many at-risk children being victims of abuse, discrimination, drug addiction, or mental illness, they need supportive community members to assist them.
Donating to the Youth Advocacy Centre sends a message to these children that you care.
YAC is acting now to support children
The Youth Advocacy Centre is supporting young people across South-East Queensland right now - but we need your help. Every contribution you make to YAC will assist in giving children the crucial support and care they need to flourish.
Our Philosophy
YAC seeks to provide an holistic response to the issues a young person is facing and, where appropriate, we use a multidisciplinary approach whereby YAC’s legal and social welfare staff work collaboratively to assist with the diverse needs of the young person.
