Youth Atlas

Australia's first interactive map of the youth engagement sector

In a landscape as vast and dynamic as Australia’s youth sector, it’s challenging to navigate and connect with the myriad of organizations making a difference. Without a clear understanding of who’s who in the sector, collaboration and support opportunities often go untapped.

 

Enter the Youth Atlas—a comprehensive mapping initiative to illuminate the diverse ecosystem of 151 youth-led organizations across Australia. Leveraging extensive research and community engagement, we curated a centralised platform that demystifies the landscape, making it easier than ever to discover, connect, and collaborate with impactful youth initiatives.

  • Youth-led (working to support young people – seen as ‘leaders’, ‘initiators’, and ‘owners’)
