Success Stories

“21 years ago, after being expelled from school I attended the very first Youth Insearch Program; I was given the opportunity to change my life. I became determined to make something of my life. Some 13 years later I returned to that very school…as the Teacher!!! Today, I still use the skills I learnt at Youth Insearch”

“Youth Insearch has given me a second chance at life. Without it, I would have been dead. It has helped make my dreams a reality” 
Henry – 18 yrs Terrigal NSW 

“Youth Insearch is my family; it’s a home away from home. It has helped me overcome my past. It taught me that you can’t forget your past but you get past it and you move on”.
Missy – 19 yrs Port Macquarie NSW 

“When I first came to youth Insearch I suffered from low self esteem and had very little self confidence. Through the love and support of the program I gained the confidence and self esteem to change my behaviours, and set goals with the determination to achieve them”
Briar – 20 yrs Baulkham Hills, NSW 

“I found a sense of belonging at Youth Insearch. I saw other young people who had been through similar experiences and were making some amazing progress in their lives. It was really the first time that I believed I could do anything I wanted with my life. One of my major goals in my life is to get married have a family and become a good father. That will signal the fact that I have completely broken the cycle”.
Heath – 28 yrs Baulkham Hills NSW 

“Youth Insearch is life changing. It changed my life so much for the better. I was angry, sad and out of control. You name it, I felt it! I got so much help from Youth Insearch and I am now at the point where I want to give back and help other young people” 
Emily – 16 yrs Queensland 

“When I first heard of Youth Insearch I was very shy. I couldn’t stay away from home, as I would get too home sick. I also found it hard to stand up for myself and what I believed in. In year 7, I was constantly bullied. I am now very proud of the person I am and I believe that I can do anything if I set my mind to it”
