Welcome to Youth Insearch: Join Us in Making a Difference 

Youth Insearch is Australia’s #1 peer-led organisation, empowering at-risk youth aged 12-25 to break free from trauma and reclaim their futures.

Why do we do this? Every day, young people face unnecessary challenges that can alter the course of their lives.

Youth Insearch creates safe, supportive spaces where young people with lived experience uplift each other, rebuild mental health, and confront life’s toughest obstacles together. Our unique combination of group work and personal support helps break harmful cycles, creating lasting change in young lives and communities.

Led by Peer Workers and Youth Leaders, with guidance from Social Workers who’ve walked similar paths, we partner with communities to provide wraparound support and advocacy for those facing significant challenges.

Through Weekend Workshops, Weekly Support Groups, and one-on-one sessions, we help young people develop life skills, build confidence, and shape brighter futures.

Since 1985, Youth Insearch has been making an impact—one young person, one breakthrough at a time.
