About Youth Off The Streets

Youth Off The Streets is a not-for-profit youth organisation dedicated to providing safety, support and opportunities for young people to build positive futures. We deliver a broad range of services including crisis accommodation and housing, alternative secondary education, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement. Our work is grounded in early intervention approaches that empower young people and strengthen communities.

We recognise that not all young people thrive in mainstream education. Our registered and accredited independent high schools offer a flexible, supportive alternative for students in Years 9–12. Youth Off The Streets operates six independent high schools registered with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and is a member of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW).

Established in 2013, Craig Davis College is a coeducational specialist secondary school supporting students in Years 9–12 who are at risk of disengaging, or who have disengaged, from mainstream schooling. Located on the Innovation Campus at the University of Wollongong, the College provides a safe, inclusive and relational learning environment. Our dedicated team of educators works closely with students to build the knowledge, skills and confidence required to achieve a Record of School Achievement (RoSA), Higher School Certificate (HSC), or to transition into further education, training or employment.
