When you support the Byron Youth Service, you are making a difference in the lives of young people and therefore the future. BYS has been the primary provider of youth services in the Shire since 1987, and our mission, our vision, our goals and values are summed up in our motto, 'Young People Matter'. BYS is staffed by qualified and experienced youth workers committed to providing support and services for young people between the ages of 12 -24 years and their families in areas as far ranging as education support, enterprise, case management, group work, alternative education, harm and crime minimization, outreach, holiday & after-school activities and parenting teens workshops. But that doesn't say it. We support Mick, who has been in foster homes since he was 4 years old and doesn't fit in mainstream schools, to complete his high school certificate through distance education. We advocate for 15 year old Trish, who has been witness of her mother's substance abuse for years and finds it hard to concentrate at school. We also provide enterprising Maxine with mentoring, support and free stall space to sell her homemade mobiles at the monthly BYS Flea Market.
