BYS is a not-for-profit incorporated community association committed to providing services for young people between the ages of 12 -24 years.
BYS is governed by a voluntary Committee of Management, comprising of a range of local people with skills in education, government, community services, business, the creative arts and youth work. Our Committee also includes representatives from community projects that we auspice, the BYS Director and a staff representative.
We currently have an exceptional team of 8 experienced and well-qualified staff and 6 casual workers. Approximately 8 co-workers, employed by other organisations, regularly work with our team at the YAC in Byron and we are committed to training the next generation of youth workers by mentoring students that are studying courses within the Community Services training package.
We operate from facilities in Byron Bay (the YAC) and Mullumbimby (the Cottage), and also run outreach programs throughout the Byron Shire.
