About Youth Off The Streets

Youth Off The Streets is a not-for-profit youth organisation that provides safety, support and opportunities for young people to build a positive future. We offer crisis accommodation and housing services, alternative high school education, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement, among other services. We focus on early interventions that empower young people and strengthen communities.

Not all children and young people thrive in mainstream schools. Our registered and accredited independent high schools offer a flexible alternative for students in Years 9–12.

We operate six independent high schools that are registered and accredited with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). Youth Off The Streets is also a member of the Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW).

Key College, Chapel School (Merrylands) was opened in 2004 and offers medium to long term educational programs for young people. Many students are at risk of becoming disengaged as well as those who are already disconnected from mainstream education. Individual Learning Plans are developed to assist students in years 9 -10 to gain the knowledge and skills required to work towards achieving their Record of School Achievement (RoSA), or to access further training or employment.
