Y it Matters

What strong communities
are made of

At the Y Queensland, we believe strong communities are built through connection, opportunity, care and belonging.
Every day, our people and programs support children, young people, families and communities across Queensland to learn, grow, connect and thrive.

Our Annual Report 2025/26 celebrates the people, programs and partnerships making this possible.

What strong communities are made of

From education and early learning to health, housing and community connection, the Y Queensland creates opportunities for people at every stage of life.

Education & Youth

Made of Possibility
We help young people discover their potential through education, leadership and opportunities to shape their future.
From Y Schools Queensland and the Schools' Breakfast Program to Queensland Youth Parliament, we're creating pathways for young people to learn, participate and thrive.

Children's Services

Made of Care
We create safe, inclusive and engaging environments where children can learn, play and grow.
Through Outside School Hours Care, Vacation Care and Early Learning, we support children and families while building confidence, friendships and a sense of belonging.

Fitness & Recreation

Made of Strength
We support healthier, more active communities through fitness, gymnastics, aquatics and wellbeing programs.
From everyday movement to specialist programs such as the Cancer Survivor Program, we help people build strength, confidence and connection.

Housing & Communities

Made of Belonging
We help create connected, inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to participate.
Through affordable housing, community centres, Op Shops and Camp Warrawee, we bring people together and support stronger communities across Queensland.

Strong communities don't happen on their own. They're built by people showing up, supporting one another and creating opportunities for others.
