Education is a basic human right
Yet some young people are missing out. Young people from diverse and complex backgrounds are often disenfranchised from mainstream education and experience significant challenges associated with personal, family, social and community alienation.
These are the young people who are the least likely to attend school.
Our Intention
The Youth+ Foundation envisions a world where all young people from diverse and complex backgrounds have equal access to educational opportunities.
Flexible Learning Centres
Over 2000 young people are enrolled in EREA Youth+ Flexible Learning Centres (FLCs).
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Young People
Over 500 Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander young people are engaged in FLCs.
Young People Not Learning
Some 70000 young people are not enrolled in any formal education settling in Australia
