Youth advocacy
Young people are active agents of change and key actors within our society.
Challenges
Unfortunately, many young people in our country face numerous challenges that are beyond their control and may affect their development and future prospects.
As well as providing specialised youth housing, employment training and education services, The Salvation Army advocates to all governments for:
- A dedicated national youth housing and homelessness plan
- Youth justice reform, including raising the age of criminal responsibility; and
- Structural reform to the social security system, including raising the rate of the JobSeeker Payment and Youth Allowance
